Lives

"Other peoples' lives seem more interesting 'cause they ain't mine."
- from "Lives" by Modest Mouse

True that. Over time I've heard a lot of people complain that they're "always bored", they "have no life" or "think other people's lives are a lot more interesting". But, are they really?
Each of us has our own view of life. We make our distinctions based on how much we enjoy what we're doing. But so many of us hold the common beliefs that other people have better lives, or it would be more interesting if we had a different life. I guess it all ties back to that "grass is greener on the other side" motto.

But what is the truth? Is the grass really greener on the other side? How can you tell? Is it worth the risk to go to the other side? And lastly, does the color of the grass really affect your life?

Think about it.
