Indifferent to the title it may seem but, no, this is not a post about tips to make that dry, dead, lawn of yours more lush and green. Green thumbs are the last thing that I will have so any plantation should stay clear from these fingers of mine!
The saying goes "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" which is true, perceptually. As people we can't but ponder the 'what if' question, always want what others have and never be fulfilled with what is possessed. Maybe it's a deficiency that comes with being human.
Maybe it's the inability to appreciate the short term. The idea that we never seem to appreciate someone/something until they are/it is lost and gone forever.
Or could it be that we just have a low tolerance for boredom? I don't know about you, but when I say I want something I long for it, when I have it I find joy for like...a few days, a month, a few months at most, not long after it's just as lack lustered as the next pile of junk. I suppose it's just the obsession with the new, the different, we want something vibrant and not dull...boring. It's kind of childish and it just may well be! But it is the pursuit and not the destination that piques our interest.
Then there is the green eye that manifests inside us all. We see the child next to us with the shiny new toy and our mines fill with the diabolical to...screw him over and retrieve our prize! (lol) Jealousy, such an ugly trait, yet I can live with being a hypocrite by saying that.
Oh, and yes, what if it were all so different? If it were different my lawn would be as green as that guy's in the photo. Well here's an explanation, the clouds are darker on the greener side. Either his side just gets more rain or the owner sold his soul to the devil. Whatever it may be nothing is what it appears to be at first sight. There's no point in pondering and there's no point in envying, things are what they are, change it if you think you can.
