What does strength entail? Does it quantify ones' physical capacities? The amount of pressure they can withhold? How much influence they have in a given situation? Can it be measured by the magnitude of hardships one overcomes, the adversities they escape while still maintaining a positive perspective?

I'm sure there's truth in all these definitions. Can anything truly be confined to one explanation, diagnosis, meaning...?
