The grass is always greener on the otherside of the fence . Expansion of ideas

Answer 1

          Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence  

This is a famous proverb; it means the situation of other people always appears better and more comfortable than our own. When in reality it may not be true.

We live in a world surrounded by ordinary people who look at the world subjectively. They see only what they want to see. And often they feel other people are happier than them. They feel fate is cruel to them; they feel all pains, all sorrow, all struggle, all challenges, etc. are written only in their kismet.  

This is wrong thinking. Everyone in this world has to deal with his/her problems. We must never think the grass is greener on the other side.  

Answer 2

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence:

This is a great prover this tells "we must not compare ourself with others", We must be happy with what we are having. The grass is greener on both the sides of the fence. We must not compare about those and maintain our own business/work.

This proverb was by the poetry Publius ovidius naso. Example for the proverb is - If there are 7 greatest people in the world we must not compare between them, we must just try to better than others without comparing others.

We must mind our own business/work. We can see how people are and who are they but comparing is considered wrong according to this proverb.
