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!)

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.

alright, so here, the author clearly thinks that flooding the canyon was a bad idea and is showing bias against it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
