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.

Explanation:

king midas is an ancient Greek myth about a man's desire of wealth led to tragedy. his golden touch prevented him from touching his food or hugging his daughter. its main message is warning against desire to acquire wealth. it is very relevant story for a modern world as the same desire is just as prevalent today as in ancient Greece. the desire to acquire wealth has driven people doing all kinds of illegal activities without considering the consequences. some of the wealthiest ppl ask Forbes magazine to stop publishing the list of wealthest ppl. others declare their wishes to give up their wealth either after death or even while they are alive. they have taken the lesson of king midas to heart.

they are direct opposites. they can both be corrupted. they are inseparable.
