A Warning Sign Please

Every decision taken in life has a consequence. I agree with this phrase, and I do belief that you have to respond for your actions. Nevertheless, I think that when someone proposes different paths, it is that person’s obligation to state the hidden consequences, and if he fails to do so, I would consider it cheating. In other words, for the benefit of the person that is taking a decision, you should enlighten them with consequences you know they are not aware of.
For example, in a modern day problem, when a teenager makes a wrong decision about addictions, I would only consider the action a sin if the child was aware of the implications of being an addict. If in that same case, the kid is not conscious about the consequences, I would first blame the person that offered him the decision before the victim.
In the case of Baccus and Midas, I would say that Baccus should be the one to blame. “He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.” In this case, Baccus lamented Midas decision, but lamenting is not an excuse for skipping vital information. If Baccus had told Midas about the possible consequences, and what could have happen with the loved ones and food, I’m sure that Midas would have modified or changed his wish. However, what really occurred was that Midas lost a wish and I have the feeling that Baccus cheated him, even though he had no reason for doing so.
Cheating can be made in many ways, and it can be intentional or not. To avoid unintentional cheating, informing all the possible consequences is fundamental, for making a conceit decision.
