The Theory of Equivalent Exchange

I've been influenced many times over by things that I see in my life, and I must admit that "Equivalent Exchange" has been one of the things that's influencing me now.

Getting the idea from Full Metal Alchemist [it's an anime, if you don't know], the Theory of Equivalent Exchange implies that you cannot create something out of nothing; you must have the required "substances" to create anything, thus the theory of equivalent exchange.

That's roughly what I'm inferring about it of course, I may be wrong, but it's about there.

Now, what's really so important about this "Equivalent Exchange" is that it applies very much to anywhere in my life, or actually in anyone's life.

I'll just place a few examples here that I'm experiencing, or have experienced:

1) I gain "game time" (or just leisure time), exchanging my time for studies
2) I gain "game time" (once more), exchanging time to socialize
3) I exchange revision time for time periods to rest

4) I exchange not doing revision for exams to obtain poor marks [obviously seen from GP]
5) I exchange my sleep time to do something else [like blogging, now]

Right, that seems to be pretty much the same thing, relating to time, yet what lies under is most important.

Without exchanging anything, you cannot achieve something else. In my case, I've chosen to exchange some moments of suffering (study) for some moments of pleasure (leisure), and at the same time in exchange, I get horrendous scores from my exams.

It seems like this theory can apply anywhere actually. It's just whether you see it or not.

Sacrificing something to obtain what you want, huh? It seems like it's going to be a main push for me in time to come. Yet, is time on my side? Have I obtained too much leisure time, and exchanged too much study time that it's too late?

I definitely hope not, and as time slowly ticks by, I begin to see many things more clearly...
