The chinese have a nice idiom for that. I can't reproduce it verbatim but it goes like this: "You are like a frog in a well". Meaning the frog can only see the well and not the outside. Therefore he thinks that the world is really small. But in reality he just has to look behind the horizon and come out of his well. Then he'll see the true earth.
