An ol'boy in Texas told me "the grass may be greener over there but ya still gotta mow it"

I don’t think the grass is greener on the other side. It’s green where you water it.

Once you have made piece with yourself, you can be happy right where you are.

The grass is definitely brown here. If we are programmed to strive, I’ve got a virus.

I forget who said it but....The Grass isn't really Greener on the other side, it's just a different shade of green.

Been there, done that. Moved here in 95, moved away 10 years later looking for more, came back after a year. Went away again a few years later, after 2 years I was back again. Seems I have found the place that is most suited to me on balance. I doesn't have everything I want, and has lots I don't want. But a closer match than anywhere else.

I think at a certain point we all have to just stick with what we have. When is enough enough? If someone ALWAYS has that drive and question of whether there is something better, then are they ever truly happy? They never will be. It's like the person who has a great relationship with someone, but something is just "missing" and they go out there searching for it. Somehow "settling" has become one of the most negative words in American society. No surprise with capitalism being the gold standard.

settle: 1. resolve or reach an agreement about (an argument or problem) 2. adopt a more steady or secure style of life, especially in a permanent job and home

So is not settling just chaos and not having a solution?

My opinion is that most people are just never happy. At the end of the day what's the most important thing ?

Depends which side your on

My grass is green. I like my grass. Idc about anyone else's greener grass.

I don't want to mow the grass anymore, so l avoid the green grass.

The other side is Field Turf.

I think sometimes it is societal influenced, particularly here in the US. We need bigger, we need better. We need to keep up with the Jones. And sometimes it is just dreaming. I have a couple houses I am absolutely in love with. Realistically, I know that I'm not likely to own them, but it's lovely to consider.

I think too that there are always drawbacks to the other side of the fence. The bigger pasture means more time and money to care for, less free time and less expendable cash.

The puzzling thing about is that it is ALWAYS greener, regardless which side one is at the time !!

My guess is it's just part of human nature, and as such, can be overcome by training, self-discipline, maturity, etc. (or given in to with wild abandon!)

I love traveling and often wonder what if I lived there. I am open to change. Just need to find the right partner in crime.

Sometimes but not always and looks can be deceiving

The grass is always greener because it's fertilised with bullshit ! ..........
