"Even though your a tough one, there will always be a weaker part inside of you"

What can you say about the photo above (the tree)? Is it strong or weak? a tough one? invincible or vulnerable? is stronger than the strongest tree you've been thinking?
As I was walking beside the office of Likas Teatro I found this tree in front of the office, beside the Comfort room, standing firmly while watching the Marist Street. I was curious of the skin of the tree, it's almost "broken" and falling into pieces. I thought it was getting old yet getting old means getting stronger for trees. To have a remembrance of it, I took a photo of it and made some adjustments.
As I saw the captured photo, it was nice and very emotional. I could feel the toughness and the strong mood of the tree yet I can observe that its getting destroyed that I can sense the weakness of it. Is it weak right? Yes, because its old and getting broken (in my own observation). Is it strong? Yes, simply because even though its getting old, its still strong because it haven't fallen down yet. Time will come that this tree will fall down and another one will grow. I know that the tree is strong yet its getting weaker, like me. As I get older, I get stronger yet I get weaker also. Its too confusing, but its the reality. There's no such thing as getting older and getting stronger and getting older and getting weaker. There are many aspects in life that we can compare.
I know that I am not perfect and so...
