Sounds like its dependent on stage of development. Going to get different answers.

@integral In an altruistic sense, how are balance & equality differentiated?

@Zion You ask good questions with a curious mind.

Good questions can often reveal a variety of good insights - coming from different perspectives.

There is no one objective meaning of terms such as ‘‘balance’ and 'equality'. We create the distinctions. That is the beautiful interplay between formless and form. 

While exploring this area, I would *balance* differences and similarities. I would treat the two *equally*

@Forestluv You've given me a lot of food for thought, thank you.

Notice how both words describe the relationship between atleast two separate parts or entities. Then notice how all words do this to some extent (hot vs. cold, up vs. down, in vs. out, short vs. tall, rough vs. smooth etc.). All these have their own flavor or quality. There is an untold amount of relationships like this in reality, many of them overlapping.

One word can also only approximate the extent of each relationship. That is why you can have many words for something similar, and you can keep adding more and more depending on the level of investigation. That is why native people north of the Artic circle have 50 words for qualities of snow. But even this doesn't capture the full nature of snow. No word can do that.
