In the town of the man called the Madman, something very unusual happened. The man called Madman was walking by the streets repeating unceasingly: ” I am lost, I can’t find my home!”
And people told him: “How come. Isn’t this your town and you have lived here all your life? Tell us, why do you say that you are lost? And he said: ” You are also lost and you are even more lost that I am.” They laughed and said: ” Neither you nor us are lost. You are just crazy.” And he answered: ” You are more lost than I am, because I know at least, that I am lost, but you not even realize it.” And jokingly they said : ” But this is your house, your home. Don’t you know us? How come that you are lost?” And the Madman said: ” I already knew what you are saying but I am lost the same.” And they said: ” Then, Madman, from where did you get lost?”
And he said: ” I am lost from my Inner World.”
