THE MOTH AND THE FLAME

The   moth……..forever  hungrying  for  the  flame……
Death….inevitable,,,,,flame…..irresistable……………….
Comsummation….a  fiery  death….self-immolation..?..
Where  is  survival  of  the  fittest…?……………………
Self  preservation…..the  prime,,cardinal  rule………..
Given  a  go-by……..the  moth,, a dumb  little  creature,
Knows  no  better…………………………………………..
Smug  in  this  knowledge…..feeling  superior………….
Man….self  congratulatory…..forgets…………………..
The  flames  of  lust…avarice….jealousy…vengeance…
Consuming  him  every day……………………………..
In  the  eyes  of  the  Maker,,,aeons  pass….in  a……..
twinkling…………………………………………………….
For  Him…..we,  the  moths , self  immolate……………
Irresistable  flames……reducing  us  to  ashes………….
       
Don’t  only  feel  sorry  for  the  moths….!………..

    Irresistable flames……reducing us to ashes”………….Raj, I am unable to understand these two lines which to me seems contradictory to the meaning of the rest of the post. Can you please explain?
