The grass is always greener. It's not what *they* tell us, it's what we tell ourselves. It's just the fact that you're looking at the grass on the other side of the fence at more of an angle than the grass under your feet. No wonder it's greener. Go, jump across the fence. Cause when you're over there, looking down with a big smile at the oh so green grass... look up.. look back.. the grass will have mysteriously gotten greener over here while the grass over there will somehow have lost it's color. And what is it in the end? Where does our problem lie? It's all in our perception. We perceive the grass is greener because we are seeing it with a different light shown on it, we are seeing it lying at a sexy angle. It's just better. Maybe if we all lied down on our own grass, got reeeally reeeally close to it, laid our heads on the ground and inspected closely from new and exciting angles - then maybe we would find a grass so green.. so green our minds would explode.
.... or maybe the neighbours grass would still be greener from that angle. who knows.
