"cat" is the wrong command, but even the right one can be puzzling - it will
list the contents! Use the -d option:

          ls -ld /etc

Interesting that you're using the command line. I haven't seen anyone
mention the Midnight Commander in quite a while, so install the "mc" 
package and give it a try. Press F9, configure "lynx-like browsing",
and browsing your filesystem will be a breeze.
