Strength For Weakness

Do I mistake my strength for weakness?
Just as I was posting this, an interesting interpretation came to mind. Caveat:  Since this is not my question, that is, not having a specific personal conflict in my life in mind prompting this question, I can only perceive this question and in a general sense. In this frame of mind, it suddenly occurred to me that  the first image could easily represent spiritual strength, or faith.  The knights dueling certainly illustrates "physical strength" to me.  And the reading lamp above the couch, in this context, suggests an intellectual strength. My personal take on this would be that strength comes from the balance of these three.  After all, strength and weakness are relative, are they not?  My determination in one situation might be pig-headed in another. So it would be hard to make a meaningful judgement on any one personal trait.

The way the question is worded is interesting. Mistaking strength for weakness would mean not accomplishing what one is capable of instead of being pig-headed.
