Strength is a tree that has stood through storms and fires; but bears leaves, and seed.
An ocean that pulls and foams.
An infant raising its head; or a toddler learning to walk.
Overcoming challenge.
Resisting what pulls you away from objective.
A woman who dies for her child.
A man that dies for his beliefs and principles.
A man who kills to protect and defend.
Strength is to push, and to take.
Strength influences and changes the wielder, and surrounding objects.
Strength preserves and protects.

For me, strength is purely relative. It is the representation of a currently existing advantage being utilized, even if that advantage can be argued to be a weakness. Both strength and weakness are the post-appraisal of a conversation between ourselves and the world around us, as it is our believed means of swaying it, the heft behind our actions and choices. Without something to compare to, strength is mostly an illusion.
Strength to me represents the means of achieving freedom, what you believe yourself to want, while weakness is the cages built by that strength. The two are one yet inherently contradictory based on perspective and context.
A musclebound brute for example would typically make for a questionable lockpick expert or debate partner, and while they could use their strength either to bust the door down or intimidate their opponents, they are also stuck within those constraints, making it into a weakness. In the video "A 'True' Lesson of Strength", taking that power or turning it down could be argued to both be strength.
