It wasn’t the light that got him.
Of course he was attracted to it. After all, light is like the moon - and as each moth knows one must follow one’s mothy heart and fly towards the silvery glimmer.
But no it wasn't the light. It wasn’t the light at all. It was the reflection of the light in the water of the sink drainer tray; and flying directly toward and into it he drowned.
Maybe we are all moths, flying towards the light only to find that we are mistaken, drowning in a sea of glimmer rather than being content with the everyday dullness that is our discontentment.
Poor moth, he was only looking for a little excitement and found extinction instead.
Look how he shines though.
Its all about making good decisions and taking action. Easier said than done as the moth found out.
