THOUGHTS: Strengths by measure

So randomly, whilst playing some melodies and thinking of a concept for a song, a thought crossed my mind about the definition of strength ...beyond the state of being strong; more in a social construct, and how that might influence our interactions.

Strength has two distinctive definitions and depending on your perspective, you might seek or display the wrong type of strength from what you value:

Let's look at the definitions in context;
strɛŋθ,strɛŋkθ (noun)

  1. the quality or state of being physically strong.
    synonyms: power, brawn, muscularity, sturdiness, robustness, lustiness;

  2. the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.
    sturdiness, firmness, toughness, soundness, solidity, durability, stability;

Without unnecessarily prolonging this post, it all comes down to these statements respectively

  1. How much am I able to take (imposed / competing)
    A measure of one's ability to conquer, overwhelm.

  2. How much am I capable of giving without being overwhelmed / able to withstand
    A measure of one's ability to persevere.

....That's it! back to my music ;)
