Be careful what you wish for...

There are many stories that please me, although some are simply dull. In my opinion, one of my favorite stories is Midas, because of the manner in which the author depicts the saying, “be careful what you wish for, because it might come true.” I enjoyed the story of Midas because of the way it so excellently made an example of how greed leads to defeat, even more if you get what you aspire to acquire. “He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction.” Not always will your mistake be fixed of forgiven as it was in the Midas story.
