Transcript rightfully owned by Hiromu Arakawa. (not mine...)Alphonse: Remember when we talked about what would happen if we died here?
Edward: Uh- huh, and I said everyone would be sad.
Yeah, but that's a pretty self-centered way of looking at things. From a universal perspective, whether we live or die doesn't matter. The world will keep going as if nothing happened.
We're just a small insignificant part of the world aren't we?
Don't say small!!
Ouch!!
Anyway... Once our lives are over, all that remains is our physical bodies.
Water, Carbon, Ammonia, Lime, Phosphorus, Sodium, Potassium...
Sulfur, Magnesium, Fluoride, Iron, Silicon, Manganese and Aluminum...right?
That's right. Our bodies are nothing but a composite of those and a few other basic elements.
Our fate is to be decomposed by bacteria and become nutrients for the plants.
And the plants become food for the herbivores...
And the herbivores become food for carnivores. This cycle goes on and on, even when we aren't aware of it.
...But whatever it's called, you and I are only a tiny part of that great flow.
One part of the whole.
But all those individual parts come together so that the whole can exist.
And the cycle keeps flowing because all of nature follows this fundamental law.
Understanding that flow, deconstructing and then reconstructing...
That's...The meaning of Alchemy.
So yeahs...pretty deep huh? It just gets me thinking, how cool it would be to actually practice alchemy, if it was still something students or privileged people can learn. To be able to do alchemy, something so magical.Equivalent exchange.
Maybe these are just a mere scientist's dream, maybe not. But I can understand where they are coming from....that's just one of the reasons why I love Fullmetal Alchemist. I am going to achieve my dream.I will and I can. Just you watch me.
*now to get back to work...D:*
