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.
