Moths are generally viewed negatively by the general public, most often associated with corruption, death, and deterioration. They are often viewed as pests, destroyers of clothing and crops.

However, this resolution is simply words in the face…

In the twentieth century many reached the understanding that disputes are normal in human society, and not necessarily destructive, and that if they do not get out of hand they may have within them a potential for growth, maturity, and social changes, an opportunity for new ways of thinking and new experiences.
