Lesson: Don't be greedy, be grateful for what you have.
King Midas is a relevant story for a modern world, because everyone is selfish, and doesn't care about other people. If you ever get to wish something, do not wish for a golden touch.

One should never be greedy in life because the wish of being greedy does not give fruitful returns in the future.

Answer: agent-relativity
Explanation: While there are several deolontogical theories, the agent-relative theory allows agents to give precedence to their own status, interests, and special relationships. Alhough every moral theory gives us the same aim of acting morally, there are those that gives us different substantive aims. The agent‐relative theory is one of these—as a moral theory it doesn't give every
