King Midas's craving for wealth overpowered his basic needs (food, water, shelter) why did Midas make such a foolish wish?
The wish for wealth is a motivator for everyone, sometimes people choose to wish for wealth for self use or to impress others. In king Midas's case he wanted it because it made him feel powerful, he feels that every luxury can be purchased by gold. When Midas got his wish he realized that the most important things in life are not paid for by great wealth this is when Midas realizes that his wish was foolish for he gets rid of his basic needs to achieve power in the view of himself and others.
