Humankind cannot gain anything
without first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange.
In those days,
we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete.
Equivalent Exchange does not encompass everything that goes on here,
but I still chose to believe in its
principle: that all things do come at a
Price, that there's an ebb and a flow, that the pain we work through
Did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres
Will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they're
Expecting.
