That's what happens when you're nice and you become apart of the Abomination and then you lose your individuality. The truth is I was supposed to die but human say I was supposed to live cuz that's selfish

@Fernando Alvarado not really. why should anyone feel the need to live...who is to say they were ment to live a long life? at the end of the day everyone has a journey and wether it ends as a long or short one isnt up for anyone but that person

am i the only one who doesn't understand what raezore was trying to say? What he said doesnt even seem suicidal lol.

The truth is that the Homonclus is not a monster, homonclus saw with his eyes the structure of authority, the king abuses his father and the father abuses his kid, the kid started to hate his father and hated everything that his father reprezents, even his father's free time activicies ,that nothing had to do with abuse Homonclus because of his life learnt how to expose the structures of authority, without bellonging to a team, just by let the sinners loose and then expose them later , when you expose the sinners to other sinners chaos comes, but you need to have everything prepared, because later the scums will attack you Ofc normal people are cospicary-theorists sometimes and present the dwarf in the jar it as a Machiavelic scum, when in reality his father and his kids that belong to the national army are the real mosters that killing people. I like this finction better because I cant accept that people who searching for knowledge are evil. Evil are the people that talking about mad scientists and bullshits

The Dwarf never believed in himself, so he pretty much stole everything from others. This is also connected to one of his sins, Sloth. Rather than explore his new freedom and grow as an individual, he simply stayed the same while trying to consume God in order to become perfect. It's like taking a single large step instead of several small steps in order to achieve a goal.

Best philosophy i read in the comments.

This is kinda what truth was saying. He didn't grow from being out in the world. And even better, the gate of truth holds all the knowledge and power that he's looking for. From his failure to understand the oppurtunity that he had, to his failure to understand what he wanted, he foolishly didn't accept the answer that should have become clear to him long ago simply because he never believed in himself

Reason why his gate is empty

​@@lisboahYou could also view it as a survival mechanism. As a dwarf, to attain freedom, he had to manipulate and kill his creators. He had to, as they would never recognise his freedom or allow him to overpower them. The only alternative was to take it by force. But once free, he never outgrew his mentality while in a cage. He continued to maliciously use other people to be free to do what he wants. His mind was still caged. He thinks people can only help him if he uses them. He has no sense of community as everyone else was the enemy. And the only way to guarantee his freedom is to be one with absolute power and impose his will on others.

The voice is also to show what they perceive as god is also a part of themselves. Basically the "Ichi wa zen, zen wa ichi" (One is all, All is one) is as universal as equivalent exchange. I always felt this was the intention, and I remember reading and interview in which Hiromu Arakawa confirmed this, saying that this representation of god or truth can be seen as an antithesis to the person who enters. Also the god/truth being says this when entering e.g. "I am all, I am one, I'm also you"

STOP COMMENTING AND GTFO FROM KZfaq!!!

I think it goes to their character motivations. Father, the dwarf, never seemed to really appreciate life. Never appreciated existence. It was a means to an end, not the end itself. Just a step on the ladder. In father's perspective, Life was just the place where the dwarf ascended to godhood. Compare this to Ed, whose motivated by Life itself. First it was their mother's Life, then Al's. As the series continues and the stakes get higher eventually he fights for everyone's Life. Ed's Gate has the Tree of Life because Ed made Life important to him. We see this come full circle at the end when he gives up his powers, in full acceptance that the best "magic" was existence itself. The dwarfs has nothing, because the dwarf made nothing important to him.

Maybe for me it is not to out play God, but out moralize him. I want to break free of pain, but I do nothing to further myself. I answer myself all the time, yet do nothing to help myself. If I did, I could forgive all the past transgressions that happened to me. Yet I still blame them for not moving forward, because if I did i feel it would eliminate their presence from my mind by those who outsmart me casually. It's quite a sick trap. I'm bitter and can't forgive the past, but I can't get past it either as a result. And it clouds my future as a result. Maybe some day I'll learn the meaning of love and patience and discipline.

@@DkKombo u might be right

This is what happened in the fall of Atlantis. Beings with extremely advanced tech. The science basically became so advanced it looked like God's magic. They tried to reach god through the material which created their downfall. The tech got out of control and caused a flood so massive their civilization was wiped out. They tried to take a shortcut and instead of going within they looked outside of themselves to become gods. The bible speaks of the flood as well.

I'm the 900rd like. ^^ Also I totally agree with you, the sins we have are there to show us how much we could achieve if we learned from them and moved past them, overcoming them to be our better selves, Father never bothered to do that himself, he just got rid of them and thought he was good enough after that, despite keeping his hubris and greed the entire time even with that, showing that he learned nothing.

Dwarf in the flask might be different since he had basically no physical body unlike other homonculi

That's how father created the other homunculus but they also had physical form and inhuman powers. Before he got his body he was just a little blob of shadow that couldn't survive outside of his flask. So it probably didn't require nearly as much to create him

I never stopped to think about that guy, he died to his own creation's plan, and probably didn't even got to meet it

The dwarf in the flask is based on the Homunculus in Faust II I think. There the creator would be Magnus. I thought that this may be interesting for you. @Marika's Daughter

It stupidly because he allowed them all to plan against him. Hoihiem and Scares transmutation circles pretty much reserve everything. After that all they had to do is beat him like every other homunculus.

@@Shadothecat I think it goes deeper than just not planning. His blank gate hints at it: He didn't learn a thing. He had all this power, but no wisdom to apply it with finesse.

So when matched against humans who were both powerful and either wise, or willing to learn, it all fell apart with tremendous speed!

@@tanall5959 what i am saying is that the 5 sacrifices were allowed to roam free. Even after openly admitting they were going to stop him. His whole plan is pretty genius but it counted on the sacrifices just allowing him to open the earth transmutation gate and accepting his plan for them.

句読点使おうや

Eloheim not everyone would agree with you on that, though which is sad of course because we would just end up becoming empty shells to be played with. So many people see the 7 deadly sins nothing but evil and must be destroyed if we are to achieve paradise or be acceptable by god even if it means destroying everything else we hold dear to us and so many people uses that to manipulate others into destroying themselves as well for someone else's gain. If God is a true father and merciful than he would want us to grow and learn instead making us lesser beings with little thought or care in the world we all make together.

@@jacobfoxall5633 the sins should be observed, understood, but never succumbed to.

Detaching them and in the way he went about it shows how he renounces parts of himself that are semi inherent while he himself is not a human…but still part of the whole. If he understood that and saw that truth for himself the god figure could have answered his question…the real question is if he saw it for *himself* would this whole conflict even exist?

​@@REDDAWNproject That is the only way to truly beat them, because as humans are inherently flawed, there is no way we can actually cut them out of ourselves lest we sacrifice our humanity entirely. It is an impssible task that even the Dwarf failed at due to how despite expunging the sins from himself, he still represented each sin to a tee but with none of the nuance or redeeming qualities the "sin" may bring. A bit of pride is just confidence, which is important and allows you to hold your own identity. A bit of envy can be seen as admiration and the desire to better oneself in order to meet the standards, etc. etc. His entire journey was completely and utterly pointless.

Until you realize the Door of Truth is marked with all your knowledge - he learned nothing, so... big L for trying to learn everything :V

Though Edgelord is quite right that that's what that means, that Father never actually _learned_ anything for himself in all his years of life, your point made me think of an interesting way of thinking about this that still fits with what you said. Father essentially seemed to think that "perfection" meant "free of the desires that corrupt oneself" essentially "pure" in some sense. Father thinks that desiring things, and being human in the sense we often use it, being fallible and to be influenced by our wants and our environment, are bad, and corrupt us. That is true, but Father's door being blank also demonstrates the problem with wanting to be "pure" in that sense...you learn nothing because you _want_ nothing strongly enough, and have no depth as a person, and thus in a sense are "blank", just like Father's door. I've noticed that sense of "blankness" or lack of personality, happens with people who surrender their individuality, like cult members. In Father's case, he did it _to himself_ by literally _removing_ the things that made him more of a complete individual. Arguably, he still _had_ all those sins judging by his actions and a few moments of his expressions, but he removed the parts of them that made a significant impact on his personality, and without that...he's just a shadow of what he used to be, and at the end, since he didn't learn anything, his doors had nothing to display at all. His soul utterly vacant of any distinguishing appearance beyond that exact _lack_ of it. Father wanted to be better than everything, even God, and yet at the end of the day, he was little better than nothing at all...

When you try to learn 'everything' you really are learning 'nothing' because only 'everything' can be sacrificed for 'everything' and when you sacrifice everything you are left with 'nothing'.
