Definition: To bring (items) to an equipoise, as the scales of a balance by adjusting the weights.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At this word ‘balanced,’ a concept we must cook!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
“To bring things to equipoise, with all your might!”
Think of scales, you see, a lovely pair,
One side heavy, the other light, I swear.
To balance them out, you need to adjust,
Adding or taking away, that’s what we must trust!
It's not just about weight, it’s more than that you see,
A feeling of fairness, for you and for me.
Like a diet, healthy and true,
With protein, carbs, and veggies too!
Or a story with characters bold,
Where good and bad tales are told.
So ‘balanced’ means to be even and just,
To find the right measure, in whom we trust!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
