The dividing line between courage and cowardice is not strength, but bluff. The courageous pretend to be stronger than they are, because they would rather risk a sacrifice than fail to act. The cowardly pretend to be weaker, less strong than they could be, so as not to have to bear the sacrifice.
After a time, the difference between acting strong or weak and being strong or weak vanishes. Because what matters is that whatever you can do - you are that strong.
