A white lion symbolizes curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge, holding a quill to signify its readiness to learn. The candle represents enlightenment, its flame lighting the path forward. Nearby, a delicate moth is drawn to the glow, curious yet unwilling to learn. Unlike the lion, it blindly approaches the flame, unprepared for the consequences of its actions.
