My theory is that its because we are programmed to fight and struggle to achieve...\n\nwe're always on the lookout for ways/things/relationships to improve our lives whether we consciously intend striving for them or not. \n\nthis yearning doesn't stop even if you do improve your situation - it doesn't stop even if you get burnt by experience (losing something good after reaching for something you thought was better)\n\n\nIt only subsides I believe when you learn to truly appreciate how many people are staring at your own green patch with envy...\n\ncontentment seems to pour its blessings on the meek far sooner than the ambitious. \n\nI think contentment is like a natural reign on ambition - I'm hoping to achieve a nice balanced life with this theory!

In our hemisphere, the sun shines on the south-facing sides of trees. This means that the south sides are warmer and drier and that the north sides are cooler and moister. Because moss requires cool, moist environments, it grows on the north side.

It fertilizes his fields.  He doesn't like spreading it and offending his neighbors.   He'll be done soon.\nPray that the wind changes.

Some times but it usually turns out it is that way because it is full of a lot of fertilizer and then you end up jumping the fence and sinking into it and smell all bad and slopping it all over and suddenly all the grass is brown and you try to hop back over the fence and track all that crap back with you.

Why does it ruin your night-is it your drama? You can always walk away but you know something the grass is never greener just different grass(sometimes its mud)

My parents are having this problem as well.  Their neighbor has weeds and overgrown bushes.  Get your local alderman/representative involved.  If you're in a neighborhood and have a neighborhood committee, I would appeal to them.  That's what my parents did and saw immediate results.

Just because you have been with a girl for a long time doesn't mean that she is the one for you. Everyone uses the quote that the grass is not greener on the other side, but go outside and really look at the different lawns. Some of the grass actually is greener on the other side. That's not to say that it doesn't have biting insects and dead spots. My point is that you have to realize what YOU really want. I know too many people that have stayed in ridiculous relationships b/c they had been in them for a long time. The best advice is to consider your options and follow your heart. T.D. Jakes once gave an analogy titled 80/20. In this he talks about how people love 80% of what they mates are but will leave because they see the other 20% of what they want in someone else. So it is up to you to decide....

Just a quirk of history.  As to safety, there's really no difference.  In places where folks drive on "the other side," the driver is also "on the other side."  This means that visibility remains the same.

a lot more traffic\npeople walking across the lawn to cut the corner,\nmore grass to cut,\n\nmore land to use,\nmore land you can use to dive into your yard...like a boat..a trailer..a motor home...\nno neighbors on one side  ! !\nthe corner lot has more benefits than problems\nI hope this helps you.\nGood Luck

The grass is always greener on the other side until your realise that it hasn't even been sown yet.

I once thought my neighbors grass was better than mine.  When I looked at from my yard it looked so nice and green.  Once I had occasion to stand on his lawn and look directly down at the grass.  From that vantage point it was horrible looking. It was sparce and there were gravelly bare patches all over.  But when I looked at it more from the side from my yard it looked completely different.\n\nSame thing with guys.  What might look really good from afar can be really nasty and ugly when you get right up close and on top of it.  Take a real good up close look and then decide.  No one else can do this for you.

i think its just human nature..we always want what we cant have.. its the thrill of the chase..the natural high u get with victory..but one thing to remeber..the grass is not always greener on the other side..u may just end up with a withered old field..

Well, I feel that people will always think that the grass is greener on the other side.\n\nSometimes other people give the impression that they are doing much better than us, be it cause of their achievements and what not.\n\nBut we tend to see only what we dont have and not appreciate what we do possess, and that inclination to pursue what we do not have makes us want to be like people who have what we don't.\n\nJust my point of view.

why is the grass green?

That is certainly not the only place it is done.  However, it is preferred because of the vast, open grass-lands for grazing.

Why is the sky blue? why is the grass green? some things are just unexplainable...
