The green grass

You have always been taught.

Ever since you were a child,  everyone around has has been teaching you lots of stuff about lots of things.  Your parents, your teachers,  your friends …even strangers . Your parents have un-arguably taught you the most. From the most basic stuff to some really complex things.  Teachers, ofcourse, teach you everyday. Your friends taught you the stuff your parents didn’t, probably coz they knew that you are better off knowing it from your friends. .

But, there are some things that no one has ever taught you. You figure them out yourself.

You buy a new pair of shoes. His are better. You get a new bike. He gets a better one. You get good grades. He gets good grades and has more fun too. You do something. He does it better.
His parents are not as restrictive. He’s got better looks.  He is more popular. He never gets into trouble. Heck ! he even has a  girlfriend.

Your life is a nightmare. His is a sweet dream.

You have been a fool all this time. You never realized  the truth. The moment you start appreciating what you have,  it suddenly seems better than what he has. For all you know, he has been thinking the same way about you.The grass is always greener on the other side. No matter what you do, it always is. The only way you can make the grass on your side better is by accepting it the way it is.

You now have something he doesn’t… He is still troubled. His life is still a nightmare. You, on the other hand, are at peace with yourself  .
