Get the Balance Right

There's more besides joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand,
Compromise, sometimes lie

Get the Balance right, get the balance right

Be responsible, respectable,
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right, get the balance right

You think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top, get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall, you're gonna fall
It's almost predictable

Don't take this way, don't take that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
Push to the left, back to the right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

Get the balance right

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

A Thanos quote which George Bowes often uses when through how fucking smart he is to realise 20N to the left and 20N to the right are the same

A car is travelling at 20N to the right, 20N thrust is happening behind, George: ‘perfectly balanced as all things should be’

Balance

Balance is not moving a Confederate statue somewhere nobody will argue over it and keeping it hidden, like an ostrich head. Balance is a Martin Luther King statue here in your face, and right next to it is a Confederate statue in your face, whether you like it or not. It's not compromising everything to get along, since that's a good way to end up fucked by the people trying to get you to compromise (and lose) everything.

Balance is not always pretty or peaceful, and it isn't meant to be that way.

Drug Balancing

The act of utilizing various drugs from uppers to downers to balance out how you feel.

Mickey snorted some coke before he went out to gamble. After awhile he felt jittery and needed to do some drug balancing, so he took some Xanax to equalize his feelings.

Balance Billing

The reason why weeks after you have any health care you get stacks of bills from the doctor, the facility, the nurse, the pharmacy, the lab, and the guy who cleans the floors every other Saturday.

Even after you've paid the stupid $20 copay.

"I went to my doctor two months ago for a sore throat and I paid my $20 copay. Now I've gotten $847 worth of extra bills for the office visit, strep test, and a shot of penicillin. The office manager told me that was how much I owe in balance billing since I haven't met my $12,000 deductible."
