A Blot on the World

What does it do to the world, your Gnosticism? Uma asks. What does it change, if it changes anything?

It changes us, I say. It changes our attitude to everything.

It leaves everything exactly as it is, Paula says.

Everything except us – and that’s what matters, I say

What if you’re what’s wrong with everything – you philosophers? Uma asks. What if you’re a blot on the world, you philosophical types? Questioning stuff and so on.

We’re not part of the world, I say. Which means we can see it for what it is.
