When did you realize that the grass is actually greener on the other side, and that isn't just an bias made of greed and envy like people always used to say ?

The grass isn’t made of me. I can assure you.

Liar, I've seen mini enbys in my grass

When I studied geography and realised that in our climate lush green grass is not something expected

 

[CarburetorThompson]

As a relatively rich white American male I’ve found it quite hard to find much greener grass

I don't really understand the term "finding out the other side grass being greener".

Because my side are all withered and dead from the start. Of course I know life is not "happy happy", instead it really depends on your gacha roll in reincarnation.

I would want a reroll whenever I was young, but now that I know my luck, a reroll is just teasing Life's kicks to my bollocks.

You guys are touching grass?

 

[HelloHound]

grass is greener where you water it

 

[xuduxixi]

Grass huh... it's been years since I saw and touched one. I almost forgot that they're supposed to be green, thank you kind person.

When i realized when the cold winters and hot summers wasn't a normal thing across the world. Sure, grass is very green in spring but in summer everything looks wilted

Unless you live in the state I’m in. No amount of watering will save this Godessless place. ?

 

[RepresentingDesire]

Well depending on what your definition of greener is, you will always find greener grass somewhere, of course if you are reading this chances are high that you have all around greener grass.

The saying is disconnected from its original context. It only has this socioeconomic connotation(which is valid, the world sucks) because it happens to have aged in a very specific way. The original, intended message from 3000 years ago is still very important, and rephrasing the saying for the modern day would be very prudent to this discussion.

"Someone else always gets more likes." would be a pretty good analogue.

Edit: Maybe like 4000ish years ago? IDK I'm not as fresh with Greek philosophy as I used to be.

I'm a Filipino. We're born to always see everything that is owned by others as 'greener' than ours.

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

Both sides have green grass. Why should I choose?

I'm not interested in grass, so I didn't notice

 

[Woolen_Monkey]

I'd need to go outside to notice so... Never

My neighbors grass is greener than mines..
I’m surprised since: My neighbor is a dragon from another world!
