The Garden and Beyond


One day the Wisperer told Ridfrek that there was a world beyond the Garden. Ridfrek was very surprised as the thought had never occurred to him. He lived in the illusion that the universe was the Garden and nothing more. The new information was very tough to dissolve and Ridfrek had to consider it for weeks, even months. Of course, it is a tough one; You live in the illusion that your life is lived in a confined space, when suddenly someone tells you that there is more... much more! Ridfrek got totally lost, he couldn't even imagine the universe outside the Garden. In the end the Wisperer got fed up with Ridfrek and his indecisiveness.
"- Ridfrek, the Wisperer wispered, you have to go outside the Garden in order to find out what it's like there. You cannot imagine or speculate upon something which you have no experience of. It's pointless!"
Ridfrek was puzzled. How should he act? The Wisperer got fed up once again and told to try and look beyond the fence which was incirceling the Garden. Ridfrek had never thought of that, cause he had thought that the stuff he could see beyond the Garden was just like the things you see in a theater, like a sid-scene or some kind of front. Not that he knew what that was, but that's how he perceived it. There seemed to be many options of what to do, but as Ridfrek had a conservative mind, he disliked change and tried to avoid it as long as possible.
