APAD: The grass is always greener on the other side of ... .

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

This is a common saying, it means that people always think other people are happier, more successful, living better lives than you. In many cases, this is not true. The lesson is to be grateful for what you have.

This isn't the one I posted before. 

I did post another similar quote not long ago: The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. 

One affirmation and one negation of the same mentality, isn't it interesting? 

 

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side

This proverb talks about the envy of things that other people have or that you wish you could have. Let’s say for example that you live on the east side of town and your friend lives on the west, looking at your friends life on the west side of town, you see how wonderful it is, you wish that you had that kind of life. However, when you decide to move to that different part of town, it isn’t what you thought it would be and you realise that your previous home was much better for you. Something that looks great from afar, may not be what you think once you get closer. Be happy with what you already have.
