I was wondering.

It’s actually a very good metaphor since we tend not to see the imperfections of another person’s life when looking from the outside.

So graciously, I know it’s not ANY zchus on my part.

The grass on the other side of the street is greener because I live across the street from a park, so all the grass is on the other side.
The grass on the other side of the world is less green because I live in EY which is the best place in the world.
The grass on the other side of my life is less green because I’m happy I’m me, Boruch Hashem, and I wouldn’t want to be anyone else or have anyone else’s life!

I had neighbors growing up with the best grass. I think they planted a different type and were meticulous about landscaping.
When one gets to know other people and their challenges, its easier to see that we’re all people.
Also there are many things about greener grass.
Have you ever received a compliment about something and thought to yourself, if only this person knew the flipside?
Or if only this person knew how much work it takes to make this look effortless or natural?
They see green grass and you know it was with the help of fertilizer and obviously a blessing from Hashem.
