Meditation is the key

Midas first thought were wealth when he was conceived a wish for his hospitality towards Bacchus. “The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice” [ P1] His greediness and his unmediated choice came to haunt him, he found him self struggling to eat, to touch, to fell anything because all became gold, when he came to realizes the consequence of not meditating his choice he wanted to undo it.
