THAT'S A VERY PROFOUND QUESTION DIZZI...

HABIT / FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN / A FEELING THAT IF YOU CAN'T STAY AND MAKE THE GRASS WHERE YOU ARE GREENER THEN YOU HAVE 'FAILED' ?

The grass is not greener on the other side. It is merely an illusion to tempt the unwary! BCXX

The grass that looks greener could be that fake astro-turf.

Seriously, though, if I were constantly on the look out for greener grass the lawn at home would wither and die from neglect.

Having said that, if I was very unhappy nothing would keep me here. I'm not a martyr, I'd go and rebuild my life elsewhere. Then maybe I'd find greener grass, maybe not.

the grass may be greener on the other side but it takes curage and hard work to keep it green somtimes

somtimes were frightened of jumping into the unknown, but somtimes its better in the long run to make that jump to the greener grass x
