Rumput Itu Lebih Hijau

Ever heard the phrase "The grass is greener on the other side"?

Sure you have! You think about it all day long don't you? At least I tend to. Well, not all day long *defensive mode*. I think about it when I think about it. Fair enough.

For those of you boring, literal, non-metaphorical people, the metaphor above refers to the human's tendency to look at other people as being more fortunate than they are. Hence, it always looks better on the other side than on our side.

Weird huh? If the grass is always greener on the other side, and our "other side" is the other side, and the other side's "other side" is our side, then which grass is actually greener? I'm not sure if you even understood with that awkward statement but if you could just bear with me, I assure you that you'll get even more confused. Eh?

The point is, sometimes we get too caught up in what others have and we don't, that we forget what we do have and we fail to take advantage of that. Take vision for example. Some people would dream of being blessed with the gift of sight and here we are, failing to appreciate this wonderful gift. That's just a simple example. I'll leave it to you guys to think of even more.

Truth is,

The grass is greener where you water it. Why waste time looking over the fence when you can spend your time working on perfecting your own lawn? In other words, stop comparing what others have! Start improving yourself with what you already have!

So next time you see someone sheepishly peering over their fence to take a look at your lawn, just give them this piece of advice: Water your grass you lazypants!
