Bacchus wanted to reward Midas for his kindness and generosity toward Bacchus' foster-father and so told Midas that he would grant whatever Midas wished, and WITHOUT THINKING Midas said, "Whatever I touch will be turned into GOLD". You can read the Problem, IT'S IN BOLDFACE .
You'd think and even want to Believe that Midas' Kingship would have (somehow) GUARANTEED at least a MINIMAL amount of Consideration, that he would have consulted his advisors or whomever else was available so that some COLLECTIVE BENEFIT could be derived from Bacchus' Generosity . 2 words : NOPE . Midas thought only of himself and IGNORED the Needs of his Subjects .
Midas did NOT "Think things through" to their Logical Outcome, and he was forced, due to starvation, to recant his wish . He could have saved himself some misery if he had simply taken his time to consider the ramifications of his Desire .
Anyone else see trump here ???????????
