Light = end of tunnel? I beg to differ.

I had seen a light at the "end" of the tunnel many times but each time I reach the source of the light, it turned out to be just a light coming from a torch and not the light I had expected which is supposed to come from the exit of the tunnel. All these false hopes are driving me crazy.

When will I ever get out of this damn tunnel?
