We always tend to think grass is always greener on the other
side. Seven out of ten times many tend to think this way. Whenever I see
someone eating rice I feel the other person is so gifted to have lots of rice
and still be in good shape and if I see someone eating chapathi I feel how regimented
the other guy is. Is this because of the Neuro associations? Is this because of
non acceptance behavior we tend to carry from our childhood? What causes us to
feel grass is always greener on the other side?
Here are few
examples – a beggar wishes he wants to be a millionaire and enjoy all the
luxury whereas a millionaire though he doesn’t want to be a beggar but still
wants to enjoy a peaceful life without stress; people in the cine industry wish
to live a normal life just like a common man whereas a common man wants to hog
the limelight and enjoy the cult status like a celebrity; people who do
business trips very frequently wants to stay at home whereas those who work
locally prefer to travel and experience the outside world; people who take
highways feel they should have taken crossroads as that could have avoided
traffic and people who take crossroads feel they must have taken highways as
that would have made them to accelerate; people who have yellow light in their
living room think they should go with white light to make the room look more
brighter and people with white light think they should go with yellow light to
make it more presentable.
Acceptance is the
way to live life but often we are caught with “Catch 22” situation. We just don’t
know which one would suit us. I deem with experience we get used to acceptance
level. As time goes by we as an individual get mature and admit what is in
store for us. Who can deny the very fact that every single morsel of food is
already decided …yes that’s what is called as ‘Destiny’ …we bound to get what
we are destined to and we won’t get what we won’t.
