RE: Don't decide the grass is greener until you've actually seen it.
I think there is a lot of social conditioning and generational conditioning (what is happening in a particular country that might influence a particular generation) that influences a person's reasoning. It's interesting to study how these different generations feel about life and different important topics. I think it is far easier now to influence people and to communicate these influences that it is a little concerning. I think it leaves little time for people to connect to themselves. According to the Pew research, the millennials have the lowest percentage of marriages of any generation before them, 28% of them marry. And this has consistently declined with each new generation since the "the greatest generation". I think that says something. How we view life is fundamentally changing.
Yes that's also true. Different countries see things differently and so do different Generations. In fact you might even think that another country is a better place than the one that you live in and that might not turn out to be true either. The grass almost always does look greener.
So true, @jeezzle ! So, so true.
