Actor Gabriel Afolayan has challenged the popular saying “light at the end of the tunnel.”
Gabriel argued that waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel is unnecessary when one can have light throughout the journey.
He emphasised the importance of finding enjoyment and fulfillment during the process, rather than just focusing on the end goal.
The actor also pointed out that not all tunnels have light at the end, making the saying unrealistic.
He encouraged people to work harder and find ways to illuminate their path, rather than relying on the promise of a distant light.
He wrote on Instagram: “Stepping away from metaphor, Light at the end of the tunnel? The fVck do I need a light at the end of a tunnel for? No, get that light inside the tunnel. Abeg Abi na end of the tunnel, I go follow to reach the end of the tunnel ?
“So let there be light (enjoyment) through the process (tunnel/work) of getting to the end of the tunnel.
“Better put, it should be that there is light at the end of a dark tunnel, which is not true in itself literarily because the end of a dark tunnel can also be as dark as dark. FOH e fi Awon owe yi lorun le ke mu ise se loju pali.”
