I find it interesting how the grass is always greener on the other side. People always wish to know what the future holds, but still want the mystery. We crave the anticipation, the waiting and the anxiety. We want greener grass on the other side, because knowing that it is not steals the hidden hope buried in our hearts. Would we be contempt knowing what we have, is as good as it gets for us?
It is human nature to keep on striving, to become the exception to the rule. However during that journey and perilous trek they spending days and days with brown wilted grass or starving for the lack there of. Wouldn’t any green grass seem magnificent after such hardship?
As well, as humans we love to put everything on a scale. “This movie was the best this year! A 10 out of 10. A must see film.” Would it not be safe to say then, that somewhere on this planet, there is a single sanctuary where the grass is greener than any other this world has to offer? If so, then do the animals in this sanctuary jump the fence in search for what they already posses? How can one truly tell if they stand in a field of the greenest grass, or if it just mediocre middle class grass?
An even better question. Does it even matter?
