The Midas Touch

Q. To understand happiness do you have to lose everything to gain everything?

A. King Midas lost true happiness by making a foolish wish "for everything my body touches change into gold". Yes gold and wealth makes you content but doesn’t support your true needs and won’t give you life long satisfaction. King Midas felt poor even with the magic touch and even though he lost everything he realized you want what you can not have and there are more things in life that are important then wealth and riches.

    Good post Wallace :) , to get material things will never make a person content, it's other people who make someone content and human companionship.

    This just shows material things cant buy a person happiness infact it can actully cause them trouble.To much power isnt good because you dont know how to control it.
