Equivalent Exchange (Thread) - Page 2

I wish I had better social skills, in exchange, I would give up my piano skills

That's quite hard.
I... would give up anything electronic, including my computer and every chance to go on the internet and get better social skills...

Mm, another thing I'd probably want to change is my success rate. If I had to give something up in order to become "successful," I'd give up my fandom.

Realistically, I could at any time. But with the concept of equivalent exchange, I wouldn't have to bother with me holding myself back for any unknown (to me) reason.

Thread revived. Think before posting your answers, yo~

@Lazu: omg! 0w0 thats impossible for me~~ you re soo brave~~ :D

well, for better social skills i will give up.. my lunch! XD

I would sacrifice almost everything for better eyesight. It's not only about vision, because I'm used to it and it's not bad since I'm wearing glasses all the time and seeing everything... well... almost normally (though I have no idea how it is to see something normally, because my eyesight started to get bad when I was 3) - it's that I'm practically handicapped. Ever since I turned 11 I'm not allowed to do any exercises, swim or pick up anything that's even a bit heavy, because of which I'm very weak now and my physical strenght is that of a little kid.

I would give up everything to see the person I loved, she passed a way a while back, and yet here I am still standing, living for both of us... hmm I guess that's Equivalent Exchange.

@Medasenpai: couldn't you get laser eye surgery? though it's really expensive...

I don't know. I love myself so much that it's hard to think of anything I'm willing to sacrifice.

Hmm, some health for overall better looks seems like a fair trade, I guess. Not that I don't think I look good enough, but I'm extremelly narcisistic. :'D

And people, stop cheating and sacrificing bad things in order to get good things. Stuff like "i would trade my bad grades for a girlfriend lulz!" don't count.

@Codex 9 it's not that expensive, but I can't get it till I turn 25 or so (because it's caused by growth) and... there's no telling if my eyesight won't get worse again because of physical exertion. :/ As I said, really bad eyesight (-9) doesn't bother me that much because when I wear glasses it's like it was only -3 or -2 and I'm used to it, the problem is that I can't even move an armchair by myself.

@Madeasenpai That sucks. I kinda know whats having heatlh problems; I have an illness in my whole digestuc tube, specialy in the colon, and I cant eat much of the food I love. Also, my body fights against it every time, so Im tired every time, and cant win against sleep. Is problematic :/

my school life

for and extraordinary wealth XD

@Matsu Ugh... it sounds bad as well :/ Is there some way to cure it?

Ahh... i just saw this thread and remembered something....

i want to trade... my existence over someone's happiness (In CL)

the reason ? **** IT! ! ! :D

if someone can make it true... PM me... seriously...

I guess i could give up my hair( me has nice hair =P) to take off some of my silly phobias

on other note i would give my future career for the eyesight of my mother ( although shoe would disaprove >.<)

Nothing. There's nothing I want and nothing I don't want.. other than more money and time, that is.

I often find myself thinking about this very same thing. And every time I do, I end up not having to really give up anything at all, except time in order to gain exactly than which I am missing. If anything, we are always trading bits of our remaining lifespan in order to achieve our goals. Whether it's love, satisfaction, or just about anything else that moves us we are always giving up our "time" to achieve things.

This is why I think I probably trade about a good three hours every day of my life to spending time on the internet, when I could use those same three hours to do just about everything and anything else I still have to do or that's pending on my end.

That's just me though, and yes, I am rambling like an old man. :'D
