There are hundreds of spiecies moths and they all survive in their environments, for the moment, and the plants have the ability to protect the moths. Like you mentioned, they have a very short lifespan - the plants recognised this and had to evolve over time, something plants have enough of, to protect the moth as the moths help the plants to reproduce. Could it not be that the moth has grown to be so dependant on the tree that it will follow it into the flame? Taking a few swoops round the fire to identify the tree, then taking the dive into the furnace to hail the glory of his tree... "you dont see moths during the day and it is not because they fly to the sun during this time so there goes the bright light theory" When a moth is drawn to a candle light or light bulb, could it not be that in pure desperation he wants to know if his tree might be at its end and he has to find out no matter what it takes with all its persistance and courage ignoring the pain to be able to rest easy that night? yes, live like you are the last of your kind so that those who follow can stay on the straight and narrow to escape the furnace of curcumstance, and if your moths follow you when the time comes, make sure that it is back to the place where you come from, the place where we can rest easy, peacefull, quiet... have you ever considered that the trees might have adapted to protect the moths.

“you dont see moths during the day and it is not because they fly to the sun during this time so there goes the bright light theory”

When a moth is drawn to a candle light or light bulb, could it not be that in pure desperation he wants to know if his tree might be at its end and he has to find out no matter what it takes with all its persistance and courage ignoring the pain to be able to rest easy that night?

yes, live like you are the last of your kind so that those who follow can stay on the straight and narrow to escape the furnace of curcumstance, and if your moths follow you when the time comes, make sure that it is back to the place where you come from, the place where we can rest easy, peacefull, quiet…

For someone who is still young you seem to have a very good idea of who you are and why you are here ( on stage). I agree that we all have a purpose without always knowing about it. One should be more aware of who you are, where you go,how you "shine",who and what is influenced by your "glow" and what it reveals. Do think and write on! Love.
