At the Mountains of Madness

Since the very beginnings humans have been a social species. We have always looked for companionship, for having peers with whom to interact, share our ideas and emotions. Loneliness has inspired us fear. Not in vain in most of the heroic, epic tales of the past most of the tragic moments of mythology occurred while the heroes were forced to face all the dangers and extreme challenges alone. It was often only that they had accomplished the most difficult duties such as defeating monsters and…
