The one and the all







Full metal alchemist was a great anime, and it taught me a lot of things. But none was so significant as the law of equivalent exchange and the concept of "the one and the all". Read on...

If I died the world would continue to move along as if nothing had happened; even our near and dear ones would learn to move on with life in the course of time. Because in reality, i'm just a small part of it. When the small part; in this case me, dies, the body remains.


Water, Carbon, Ammonia, Lime, Phosphorous, Salt, Saltpeter, Sulfur, Magnesium, Fluorine, Iron, and Aluminium. The body’s only a combination of those simple elements. Nothing more. We’re destined to be decomposed by bacteria, and become nutrients for plants, then you follow the process further, those plants nourish herbivores.And those herbivores nourish carnivores. Even others like us. And even though we lose awareness our lives keep on moving through the system.The great flow that maintains the universe, call it the cycle of life, the course of nature each one of us is just a small part of that part. One in the all. Yet without all the individual ones, the all can’t exist.



This world flows by following grander laws that we can’t even imagine.


Yet, in the end...
we are insignificant, therefore are we great.
