"This speck doesn't change much. Why should I leave it? It safer here, and if it is lonely it is only because I have not yet brought a friend to watch it too. Or rather, I tried to make him watch it, but her was to concerned with his own speck. Why can't he see how mine is better? His is not so different that he should be unable to measure it's beauties. Perhaps he is deficient, and cannot recognize beauty. Perhaps he is simply rude, or spiteful, and refuses to look out of hate. Perhaps he is not my friend.
Why won't he look at my speck? Why won't he see from my point of view?
He must be evil, to refuse my speck so. His speck must be evil too, so I shall not look at it. It is good that I can avoid his evil by averting my eyes, for otherwise I might be changed by that speck. No, I shall keep my eyes firmly affixed on my own, for it will not change me, nor I it. It is safer that way."
