There were two fields divided by a fence. Both fields were about the same size and each plenty of grass, green and lush.
In each field, there was a sheep and each sheep had his head through the fence eating grass from the other sheep's pasture. All around each sheep in his own field was plenty of grass, yet the grass in the other field seemed greener or fresher, although it was harder to get.
In the process, the sheeps were caught in the wires and were unable to free themselves.
Are we often discontented with what we have? Does it seem that others have it better?
"But godliness with contentment is great gain." 1 Tim 6:6
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.
"Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." Luke 12:15
