The Grass is Greener in the Other Side

Conversation - B2-C1 | Advance Level

Description

“The grass is always greener on the other side” is a proverb that reflects our tendency to believe others have better lives, jobs, or relationships than we do. This lesson unpacks the meaning and psychological roots of this belief. It encourages learners to recognize how comparison can distort reality and lead to dissatisfaction. Through discussion and reflection, students will explore healthier ways to appreciate and improve their own circumstances. The goal is to shift from envy to gratitude by focusing on personal growth and contentment.
