Ever wondered that curiosity and envy might share a strange connection?
Humans have evolved through curiosity, endlessly harvesting on potentials from nature. Just by crossing over the fine line, the erroneous humans engage in temptation. Curiosity is searching for the grass outside our fence, tempting is the want of same or even better over our side of fence.
“The grass is greener on other side.”
Humans, innately compare themselves with fellow beings, inspire and aspire for difference they see in others and grow beyond their limited experience. You might say, this is the natural course of how we work in society. So, if we see the greenness of other side and adapt our ways to make our pasture greener then how does it sound unhealthy that I had to write about it?
Well, it’s in the reflection of satisfaction. You will want for more greenness when you see greener fields elsewhere and the cycle will continue because as the nature goes, there will always be something greener than you have already. The continue dismay or revision of success definition in accordance with other’s produce will chew up the importance, acceptance and gratitude of what we own. Rather, let yourself be the master of your success ideal.
Moreover, when parent’s compares Sharmaji’s son to their own, they slowly wither away their child’s confidence.
The very ability to decide for oneself is snatched away when it is others that we want to surpass than create our own throne to reside.
The proverb doesn’t put us away from dreaming or aspiring for more than we have, but the wisdom it imparts is that of finding stability, respect and fulfilment in what we have so that we can equivocally grow in our pursuit of self-published goals rather than rely on someone’s published definition of success. The concept of healthy competition was pull up for us to ensure that we materialise our deeds with what we have than what others have that we MUST have.
The psychology to understand within the proverb is that we need to move away from unduly comparing and achieving a sense of fulfillment before moving onto the next step. The world would be healthy when we not fret over the lack of greener grass on our field and move to raise gardens that stand on their own bosom, immeasurable by the worth of another.
