Who thinks the grass is greener on the other side?

When we hear the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side, it only signifies how one man is always discontented with what he has got. When he sees that his neighbor seems to be coping well, he immediately thinks that they are doing much better, he must be earning more. Actually, this is not always true. The neighbor may only seem to be coping well with life because, they know to do appropriate budgeting. The truth could be that he is earning more than what his neighbor does. I believe the story originated from a long time ago when, the keeper of a flock thought that the grass on the other side of the fence is much greener than where he is, so he took the effort to bring his flock to the other side. Only to find that it was better from where he was.

A friend of mine once said "Of course the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, it is feed a lot of manure"

I use to think that too but Ive learned its just as bad or like you said even worse.LOL

well yeah you have to do it harder if you want to earn more and be successful theres no such things as lucky on the other side of whatever its us how to make our life comfortable and neat..

I think we have all thought that one time or another ,only to find out that it isn't..I think when we feel like we are in a rut or bored we just automacticlly think that only to find out that we were better off where we are.

LOL, I also thought that at one time but what I found was yes the grass was greener but it was just growing faster. I think it's human nature to want more or want what the other guy/gal has but in reality we just need to slow down and enjoy what we have been blessed with - I think we would find we have it much better than we thought.

I don't understand what you're talking about Bicklelady. What type grass and what side of what fence are you talking about? Before I can give you a decent response I must know.
