Greed, Greed, Greed

The story of King Midas has been heard in many different ways around the world. We've all been taught not to be greedy and to value other things in life other than money. Apparently, almost no one has listened and a majority of the world's population is completely obsessed with money and riches. In this they are no different than King Midas, who had the chance to have anything he wanted, but asked for gold. We should learn from this story and start valuing things in life other than money. Things like family, friendships, knowledge, music, and art. If not, we will become over-obsessed with money and though we will not turn things into gold, we can ruin our lives very easily.
