The story of the moth was reflective of Rizal's life, And that of his mother as the old moth and Rizal as the young moth Rizal said in his diary “ I was listening, all my attention, all my mind, and all my thoughts were concentrated on the fate of that moth, young, dead full illusions.” The mother of Rizal said otherwise, she told the young boy after telling him the story “ Don’t imitate the young moth and don't be disobedient, you'll get burned by it.” Rizal was undoubtedly, was the young moth burned because of his passion for ideas and love of country.
