Balance by Nikhil Parekh

In Harrison Bergeron everyone is equally balanced and if they are not they are handicapped for that difference so that they all remain equal. Yet everyone is different because of many things like emotion or personal opinions. Everyone was put with handicaps so that they all were balanced, but even before they were assigned the handicaps they were balance, but in a different way. This is shown in a poem called Balance where there are many things that are all balanced, but are balanced in their own special way like the people in the story Harrison Bergeron. “Every human trespassing on the trajectory if this planet; balanced himself magnificently on his two feet and strong arms, And every life spawned in this Universe by the Creator; sagaciously balanced itself between its chare of enchantingly good and diabolically bad……”

“The celestial waterfall culminating into an superlatively alluring spray after smashing against the rocks; balanced itself animatedly between the gargantuan cliffs of the indefatigably towering mountain,” Like the waterfall balanced itself between the cliffs of the mountain, the people with handicaps have balance their lives between the lives with and without handicaps. When their handicaps are in effect everyone is equal, but when they are not in effect everyone is free to show their emotions and true individuality before the handicaps come back into effect.
