The Continuation of Moths

I can quite clearly observe, scientific reasoning aside, that moths spend the majority of their time in the dark. Spiritually speaking, they can be considered to do this out of choice, from their nocturnal nature, but what drives them to the light? Its hypnotic attraction pulls them closer over time. They flutter around the flame hesitantly, unsure of themselves. Eventually they will either flee, perhaps wisely, having not built the confidence. Or perhaps they will wait too long to strengthen their will, and the flame will die before them. Or just perhaps, they will take the risk. They take a plunge, quite literally. It all depends on judgement, or maybe luck. Will they burn, victim of their bad luck or judgement.

These summarise the fates of the metaphorical moths so far.

But is there another possibility? Does the risk yield a better harvest for the lucky? Is there a reason for the otherwise unexplained attraction to the flame?

We shall see, I suppose.
