I read short story "a delicate balance" wrote by Jose Armas. What is the meaning of a delicate balance in this story?

"a delicate balance" Not having read the story, I can only give you my sense of the expression generically. Of course, perfect balance is hard to achieve, and in the physical sense, any balance is delicate. The slightest change to one side or the other will throw the balance off.
