The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion . . . .
THE TUNNEL IS!
Rightly so. Doesn't it resonate with Einstein's theory of relativity? The theory that answers why we can't experience the earth's spin. Humans often fall prey to the illusion created by our own minds even after having our eyes wide open. There comes a time in our lives where we become our own resistance just because we get stuck in the wrong frame of reference and there are absolutely no genuine observers. We start doubting our path, our steps, our vision, our existence, and whatnot. It doesn't stop there, we legit start accepting the illusion to a level where we lose sight of the light falling on our way.
This is when there arises an emergent need to stop. To stop overthinking. To stop analyzing. To stop self -doubt. To just stop. Because here comes the time when, if we don't stop, we will move away from the light and start getting sucked deep into the tunnel and become a part of its darkness & will fall prey to accept it as the reality.
So Stop! Get up. Shaken a bit. Pat yourself on the back. Move ahead. Keep going towards the slightest of light without fearing because any way you have nothing to lose. Keep that hope. Keep that focus. Keep believing. Start running towards it. Faster.
See the beam getting wider? Keep going. And here you have your sky. Here you have the sun, my friend.
You just walked past the tunnel. The Illusion.
