Month to a Flame

I heard something recently which I thought was pretty good.

It was just said as:
"Moths are us"
(for those not in North America: there are a few companies here calling themselves things like "Toys are us" etc, and this is what the play on word is about)

And it was explained as:
We are like moths attracted to a flame. We rush towards what we think will make us happy but we are often wrong, wrong about what we really want, wrong about what will make us happy.

I have reasons to suspect that this is a pretty accurate description.
