The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence?

Is this right? Had you ever had the feeling that life would be better if you lived in other district, other city, other country? If you could be completely other person, If your looks would be different, if you would have other friends?
The world is changing, a person who's born in country "x" learns in country "y" and after that lives and works in country "z". A person who have blue eyes and blond hair can buy color lenses and dye hair, now the person have green eyes and black hair. Nowadays a person can make plastic surgery, even change he's gender. The question is WHY? Why we want to run from ourselves? Do we think that in different country our lives suddenly will become perfect, that the new hair color will make us better? I`m not saying that all of this are bad things but I live in eastern Europe, many of my friends want to live in other country. Even I sometimes think about moving to Berlin, Germany. Most of those times I think "Ow, it would be a new beginning, a brand new life there." But than I started to think - but what about my family, my friends, all those people who supported me? Will I find new friends, like the ones I have more than 5 years?
The question still exists, just like Hamlet "to be or not to be?" only changed to "to change or not to change?" And why do I and most of all people think that that life on the other side of the fence will be better? I would like to hear your opinion about this subject.

i sometimes felt this way especially when i hate myself or when i hate the things that are happening in my life. I think it is human nature to want better things for themselves ans thinking the ifs and what ifs of their lives. But change can be good to and if it will never really go away in your head about moving out and having changes in life like living to another country or changing jobswhy not try it right?at least you can say to yourself you have tried everything.

I think it's because no one is truly happy with what they've got, they think the grass maybe greener for a better life, sometimes it may be true, but sometimes it's a huge mistake. It's because we're all in search of a happier more fruitful life and because of this we will always hope that things are better on the other side.
