A story that takes place in "another world". In episode 51, I have been following the protagonist to find out what is "Sage's Stone", what is "gate", what is "equivalent exchange", and what is "the truth of the world". After time and time again, they always get the "adults' answer": the so-called equivalent exchange does not exist. You pay, and you don't necessarily get something in return. But until the end, they still didn't believe it and were still looking for a way to meet the brothers. (If it goes on like this, I am afraid there will be a second series. If the ratings are good. Haha.)
I also once believed that there is an equivalent exchange, and I once believed that only if I pay enough, I will definitely get what I want. things - grades, friendship, pampering. I also didn't believe in the existence of equivalent exchange. Some people are born smarter than you, more beautiful than you, and more likable than you.
And, now - I prefer to choose to believe
what is the truth of the world? What you see is. "As long as you don't deceive your heart, nothing can deceive your eyes". People often say "don't see with your eyes, see with your heart". This is completely scientifically based. Because what we see is processed by cognition. And this processing means that a lot of information is "filtered" out. So what entered? It is the same as our own values, related to ourselves, and easily assimilated and integrated.
Steel is always asking the question: "(What is a door?) Is it truth?" From the above perspective, truth does not exist, and neither does the truth of the world. Everyone lives in their own made world, which is just a world constructed by our past experiences and values, but it is the most real world.
However, I am still willing to choose to believe
because it is the power to go on, because it is the hope that always stands in the future.
What is an equivalent exchange? How can there be an equivalent exchange when everyone has their own set of metrics?
When there is a goal, there is always a direction to give. But things often don't work out. We always think that we don't get something, but in fact -
whether there are traces or not, we have passed.

A few years later, I saw the theatrical version of "The Conqueror of Shambhala", I think, there should be no The second volume.
Steel is back and back again. Al succeeded - finally reunited with his brother, no matter what world he was in.
Yes, Shambhala does not exist. Despite what a perfect world it was, it represented the ideal heaven for many people. But it is precisely because it does not exist that we can fight for it. Gang said, I no longer have any thoughts that the world has nothing to do with me. A person, no matter how small, can be sure that one day he will not change the world?
"Xiao Yin is hidden in the forest, big Yin is hidden in the city", how can it be regarded as a real birth without joining the WTO? And the real birth is not to watch from the sidelines, but to still have a fiery heart after being thrown into the soup.
Although we do not know what will be exchanged, but the sacrifice is inevitable. And isn't the beauty of life in this-giving, and then waiting for the possible beauty...
Al has waited, I think, all of us, should be able to wait...
