Equivalent Exchange (Thread)

A seemingly simple question I asked my friends recently, made me wonder how the rest of Colorless would answer.

The Law of Equivalent Exchange states that in order to gain one thing, something of equal value must be lost.

With that in mind, if you could change something about yourself, while sacrificing another thing, what would you change and what would be lost? Also, why would you choose those?

Better stamina for slower speed :D

more patience for lesser greed

Getting rid of lines under my eyes.
Gaining a heart.

lose my arm and leg, to bring back someone i lost a long time ago. simply because i miss them.

Temporarily let go of my principles for a 'live and let live' attitude for 14 days...just to see how my life would change.

FMA!!!!!!

Toka Koka..

lose my pride for unlimited manga and anime (because i'm a proud person)

Lower my hearing and smelling abilities to give speed and stamina...

Also I'll give all of my porn collection for unlimited anime and manga too!! Nice idea man ^_^

Mm, to answer my own question, I'd want to look and feel more fit while sacrificing my height. =3=

improving my skill in drawing while sacrificing my weight XD

I would sacrifice my Elitism and Perfectionism to get more friends....

If it's Equivalent Exchange, then in order to gain a positive attribute you have to sacrifice a positive attribute right? Because a negative attribute don't have too much value.
Then I wouldn't sacrifice anything, it makes no sense. Well, in special cases perhaps makes sense, but that's very rare, By luck I don't need that cruel method to gain what I want. Except two things, my vision and (of course) love, but I can't sacrifice anything that precious.

hmm..... I would... sacrifice my piano skills.... for unlimited manga deliveries to my house.

@Akidzuki Elitism and Perfectionism are positive attributes for me, so yeah.

sacrifice most of my physical capabilities for extreme intelligence and logical abilities

I would give up my drawing skills for a different, more productive passion that could lead me through life better.

i would give up my life if it can let my family's company stay alive until 7th generation

i would get rid of my anger to gain more kindess nya~ xD lol im such a cheater.
