Question

giving brainliest! (100pts if you answer correctly!) How would you interpret the lesson of King Midas for a modern-day world. What do you think the message of the story is? Do you think King Midas is a relevant story for a modern world? Why or why not? (At least 8 sentences!)

Answer 1

Answer:

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. Instead, you could wish for a pet elephant, or world peace. Modernly, people would wish for unlimited money, and new cars, and etc... One should never be greedy in life because the wish of being greedy does not give fruitful returns in the future. In return for a good deed, he was granted one wish by the god Dionysus, and asked for the power to turn everything he touched into gold. When "Midas touch" is used today, the moral of this tale of greed is usually ignored.
