A balanced weight scale is often used as symbol for justice.

Random thoughts related to the ‘balancing act’:

  • Does imprisonmeent of one person for life balance out the loss of life of another?
  • The last item that tip the balance does not have any special ‘power’. Everything else is just as important.
  • Can a simple reshuffle of items (without replacement) on one side tip the scale? How?
  • Is it true that it doesn’t really matter what is on each side of the scale as long as it is balanced?
  • In a perfectly still environment without any disturbances, can we tip the scale without changing any weights or placement of weights on either side?
