The grass is always greener...

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence - The best definition I could come up with for this phrase was that it "Refers to the way we tend to look at other people's lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose coloured glasses.

It comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you're just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own"

Okay so I understand the theory, but I'm afraid the reality is that the grass IS always greener on the other side of our fence.
