Light at the end of the tunnel

You know how we always talk about light being at the end of a tunnel. Well that's not always the case. So what does one really do in such circumstances? Let me try changing your perspective a bit here. Think of life as a maze of tunnels and the light at the end representing your goal or reward or plain ol' good luck (if you believe in fate then good fate). To begin you are put at some random spot in this web what you will later on call life. Initially, you are guided through this labyrinth by people you recognise as your parents. Once on your own navigation is a slighlty more challenging, there are bumps and knocks and lessons to be learnt at every turn, fork and end. Soon enough you learn to maneuver your ship through the seas of life and make decisions that will get you to a desirable finish. However, there is this time always that you have hit a dead-end. You think to yourself what do I do now? I was always told there would be light at the end of the tunnel. But not this one! Well simple, turn around and go where you came from and you will see the light once again. Sometimes, in life we need to take a step backwards to really move forward.
