There was a farm looked well by the farmer John, he feeds, care and nurture the animals in his farm, giving them the best he can offer and in return the animals to harvest the corps for him and provide his livelihood. The animals John can only afford are Chuck the Chicken, Porky the Pig, Connie the Cow and Shane the sheep, these few animals were always complaining about the work they need to do except Shane who love the farm and farmer John.
Chuck:" Why are we always working, always laying eggs for farmer john! I don't want to work, I want to move on to the other farm where the grass is greener and there are more potential mates for me over there!"
Porky:" Yeah that's right i just want to lay in the mud all day long like the pigs over on the other farm, and not work my back off over this side and becoming the farmers milking machine!"
Connie:" Yeah why cant i just eat grass all day long like the cows over on the other side and enjoy the sunset and sunrise without needing to strap a plow on my back!"
Shane:" I don't know about you guys, but i like it here, farmer john always feed me, take cares of me, loves me and always give me the best he can offer and in return i just need to keep his crops safe from rodents, I don't mind a bit."
Chuck:" Oh you silly sheep, look around you, your 19 years old and your still single, look over the other side, look at how happy the other sheep are on the other farm, being in a pack, eating grass all day, starting a family and enjoying the company they have. YOU MY DEAR SHEEP! have been always hanging out with us and haven even had a mate, i think its time you wake up and see the greener grass!"
Porky:" OINK! OINK! that's right silly sheep, I've seen you looking over at the pretty lambs the other side, don't you want to go over and mix around or stay here your whole life and watch crops grow, OINK! OINK!"
Connie:" MOO! They are right shane, we are all still sinlge and the farmer john wont even provide us with friends and family, we will all die lonesome here without a family and love one! I think its time we jump the fence and join the other farm!"
Shane:" Mehhh! i don't know, farmer john is so poor, yet he still gives us the best he can provide and if we run, he wont be able to run his farm any longer if we jump the fence over to the other farm, i still want to stay."
That night itself, when farmer John was sound asleep in his bed. Chuck, Connie and Porky jump the fence and left the farm to join the other farm which they say is better then their own farm without waking up Shane as well.
The next morning, Shane woke up and saw that all his friends have left him, Shane panicked and ran to the fence.
Shane:" MEHH! MEHH! OH NO! all my friends have left me to join the other farm, what should I do?! should i join them but i can't just leave poor farmer john like that! OH MEHH! what do i do?! what do i do?!
In all of the confusion, Shane just sat at the fence all day long, thinking whether he should join his friend on th greener side of the grass or stay with his beloved farmer john?
Shane:" MEHH! I have been sitting here all day long! If i stay here, i'll be all lonely and die a lonely sheep, i'll have no family, no love life, no kids! But if i jump over who knows whether they will accept me as part of the pack?! OH WHAT DO I DO?! MEHH!
Farmer John was looking around for his beloved animals all day long until sunset when he found shane sitting on the fence, looking confuse and feeling lost....
This story has no ending to it, I would leave it up to you to end the story, how you end it will determine what type of personality you hold but of course its not 100% accurate. And of course whether or not shane jumps the fence is up to you, i am sure if you are person who can read between the line, you can definitely put yourself in the same situation as well.
This is how i feel right now even this month itself, i am feeling lost in my own place, i look at the other place, it looks great with abundant chances, new friends and opporutnity in life but yet on the other hand if i leave my place, will they accept me, is it true whatever i see will become reality or am i just living the fantasy of the grass is greener on the other side and end up falling hard?
Is the grass greener on the other side? Should i take the jump and cross the fence?

if you are a sheep, go ahead and jump. cos you dont have much control over your destiny and future. however, as a human, you can change things in your current situation. and so if you are fairly contented in what you're doing now, stick with it.
