All the old can tell you stories of guys who got out of the cave. Most of them never came back, but some returned, and obviously came to tell what they've seen outside.
Each one who came back told a bigger story than the previous one. It was like getting deeper inside a puzzle, getting to know what is outside of our world. it was quitte pretty, and gave wings to the imagination of many men, and facts to be studied by our so proud science...
But none of them has ever understood the last guy who came from his walks outside the cave. They say he went mad after seeing so many different and bizarre things outside. As people say, most of us are not ready to get out of the cave, so we keep our imagination on other things, and avoid thinking about this.

He found something like an exit, a passage to somewhere else he had never seen...and there it stood a man, siting and watching time pass by. He got to the man and asked "do you know where this path leads?"
The man answered: "This path leads to the exit of our cave...i went there, and for years searched for the end of things. One day i found a man sitting on a path, alone, watching time pass by. I asked him the same question you're asking me, and he told me that that path lead to the exit of his cave, and that he got out and for years searched for the end of things. One day he found a man..."
