As you say,'Balance' has many sets..but you want "Equal distribution". First,it means that our ears are balance,if it don't we are just unbalance..like turning upside down..If we aren't balance,our right or left ear may lose weight and the other may over weight because it gets the other weight of other part..right or left....Hope you understand.

Moderation without extremes. Like politically and/or religiously moderate. No 'the End is near' or 'party x is all demons'. Moderation attempts to find a middle ground that is hopefully more realistic and less colored by fanatical sentiments. Like the middle ground between mania and depression. Light and dark.
