A very interesting and unique write. Made me truly think. Add to my favorite and thank you for sharing. All the very best

I love the image you conjure here of a moth - drab, perhaps, in life - but not once they fly headlong (willingly) into a flame. We've all seen it: the flame suddenly is injected with a new passion - it burns with such vivid intensity. But only briefly, and then it is gone again. I suppose any 'moth' having been part of that would never find much to live for again. They had burnt the brightest, felt - at last - such intense life (if only momentarily) that they had soaked up everything worth having in this drab world.
No butterfly ever gets that colourful.

Take care, Maddy.

Would love to see it on front page.
Beautiful!
