Up or Down: What is Balance Anyway?

When I was a child I spent my summers on Long Island playing endless games with my cousins. The playground was in short walking distance from their home. They had the best playground. It was a wide-open space with all sorts of fun things for a child to play on. We would have contests for swinging or climbing the highest on the playground equipment. In those days I was a featherweight and whenever we went on the seesaw I ended up on the high end. I would bounce up and down but there was no way I was getting my end of the seesaw any lower then sky-high. It wasn’t until I learned to adjust my weight did that advantage shift. I would move to the end of the plank and found my weight could bring me down. Not all the way to the bottom but usually it brought the seesaw into balance.
