#42: The Grass Is Always Greener
When we think we’re cursed with bad luck while everyone around us seems to catch a break, we tend to think the grass is always greener on the other side. When we’re feeling down, it’s easy to look at our neighbors and think that everything comes easily to them. It’s easy to be hard on ourselves and think that other people have it all figured out, but that usually isn’t the case.
In this case, however, the grass is greener on the other side, but that’s not a fair comparison since it’s hard to compete with such a beautiful lawn. For some people, grooming their yard is just another one of our annoying house chores, while others enjoy the hard work and the satisfying result. This person belongs to the second group, and his yard art is satisfying. However, we’re not sure we’d feel the same if this was our neighbor’s lawn.
