GABRIEL AFOLAYAN QUESTIONS THE ‘LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL’ PROVERB
Gabriel Afolayan, an actor, has questioned the adage “light at the end of the tunnel.”
Gabriel maintained that there is no need to wait until the end of the tunnel when there is light along the way.
He emphasized the value of enjoying and being fulfilled along the way rather than concentrating only on the final result.
The statement is ridiculous, the actor added, because not all tunnels have light at the end.
He urged people not to rely on the promise of a far-off light, but to put in more effort and find ways to light their path.
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.”
