The grass isn't always greener

[Bread]

People who use this saying are annoying to me.

You're right. The grass certainly is NOT always greener. Sometimes your decision for a change, whatever that change may be, ends up being the single biggest regret of your life.

But sometimes the grass is greener.

If everyone just settled into whatever rut that time and familiarity placed them in, without ever taking a chance on a change, what a boring world this would be.

Now I'm sure if this person were to fall flat on their face and long for the days when they still had what they used to have, these would be the same people to remind them..."See, I told you. The grass isn't always greener."

Whatever. Go fuck yourself.


PS this has nothing to do with my current situation. I don't have any grass anywhere to look back upon or forward to. I'm pasture-less for awhile.

But I have heard a few people utilize that saying anyways. It reminded me how much I always hated it. To be complacent is to be dead.

Somtimes the mud and shit is deeper on the other side of the pasture.

I guess when you come from a place where all you eat are potatoes, you substitute a potato as a ball to play with, you build your furniture using potatoes...

Well, the grass WILL always be greener. It simply has to be.

The Grass IS always greener on the other side of the fence.



watching a netflix thing on the A-bomb right now.

makes you wonder if the people in Japan thought the grass was greener in the US after those two big bombs

is greener, isn't greener.....it's the meaning behind it.

No nitpicking in my threads. I'm not in the mood for a war.

The grass is always greener on the other side. Which in terms of locations , every place has its own pros and cons.

I basically agree with the spirit of the thread. It's like another trite phrase that I hate: if it's working, don't fix it.

Sure, there can be some sense to that in some specific practical situations, but so often what the person is really saying is, I'm afraid of change and I don't have the imagination to see how things can be better.



That goes against my personal philosophy.

 

[Archie]

technically I think its


If its not fixing, don't work it
