The Grass Is Always Greener

Greener Grass

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence is a common expression, meaning that by human nature, people often believe others have it better. "That guy's lawn, or that guy's house looks better than mine," is classic envy or coveting of another's property.

In many cases it may be true. People leave Afghanistan, Iraq, India, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Russia, Mexico and come to the U.S.A. to find a better life. There must be a good reason for this.
