——"Fullmetal Alchemist"
"At that time", I firmly believed that these two teenagers were the real world. Did they finally understand that all this was just a fairy tale?
What in this world is equivalent exchange?
In order to get something, it is always necessary to pay more. In the words of the story, it was the toll.
Hohenheim asked Edward at the end, does it not require the energy of the process to repair the broken clock?
One sentence breaks the supporting theory that runs through the entire animation.
By this time, the brothers should have understood.
What is a real equivalent exchange? Those who want to exchange, please bear all the expenses of the exchange process.
Smelting iron into shape? Please pay for the temperature of melting iron. "Scientific" magic is just a theory in a fairy tale. The real world needs charcoal and stoves. Manpower and time are required.
In other words, isn't time a price?
The principle of alchemy: not to refine gold, not to refine the human body.
Human Alchemy.
The reason why gold is not allowed to be refined is thanks to a poet named Mark Poetry who said in his collection of prose poems "Das Kapital" more than 100 years ago... Gold and silver are inherently currency.
It's really unfortunate, although it has brilliant colors, it is difficult to be appreciated by people with the pure and good eyes of appreciating colors. Because "born" is set with the meaning of "value".
Refining the human body... just got easier. Although human beings have the power of destruction, it seems that they have not yet learned the power of nature's construction. Whether it's a transplant or something, the decisive step remains whether the recipient's body can accept it. For example, the skin from the buttocks is transplanted to the face, and the organ from the donor is transplanted into the patient. Humans can only constantly try to create opportunities to increase the chances of the body's natural forces accepting the transplanted part.
It's just a human body.
It is nothing more than a medium that people use to exchange necessities of existence or even necessities.
It’s just something important to human beings, it’s human values, that’s all.
Then again, what is value?
The so-called social labor time is only the definition of human beings. Can one race decide what is important and what is not? What if this race could multiply to more than six billion? What if something could be developed to exterminate other races? What about other races that can be changed "for their own use" in bizarre ways?
It's just a race called "Humans".
The laws of nature, the truths of nature, have never been understood by one of the countless molecules of nature. Maintaining a clear awareness of ignorance may be a more correct attitude.
