The Bazaar

Tourist : How long have you lived in the Bazaar?Ramiz : All my life.Tourist : How old are you?Ramiz : From my prospective as old as the Bazaar; from your prospective as old as this conversation lasts.Tourist : I come from a place where we know time; we know size; we have allocated tasks; we have responsibilities; you on the other hand claim that in the Bazaar all this is meaningless?Ramiz : I have made no such claim.Tourist : You do not think that knowing your age; knowing the opening and closing time of the Bazaar; knowing who does what in the Bazaar; knowing the size of the Bazaar are important matters so that someone like you who lives in the Bazaar should know?Ramiz : If they are important matters to you then you should of course know them.Tourist : So your point is that they are not important to you and therefore you do not know them?Ramiz : You asked me what I know and I told you; it seems to me that you are frustrated with the limit of my knowledge; although I think that is to your benefit.Tourist : Why is that?Ramiz : The Bazaar is something you experience not something you learn about from others.
