- Some people—A LOT of people in fact—spend far too much of their lives searching for the light at the end of the tunnel, even to the absurd extreme of fantasizing about an afterlife they envision will be perfect in every respect. Seriously. The present is never good enough for these persnickety people; the future is incessantly bound to be better and a marked improvement over anything and everything they are experiencing today. Oftentimes these individuals are not even in a tunnel per se, but rather ensconced entirely within the bowels of an enchanting cave with barely concealed intrigue and excitement all around them. All they have to do is stop and look closely and they will discover this “hidden” bonanza. But keep frantically searching for that happiness-ensuring light if you are so positive one is ultimately going to appear, this despite the fact a great many tunnels are in the process of actively being dug and therefore contain only one opening, and that is back in the direction from wherest you came.
