The grass is not always green on the other side ***We are simple human beings whose needs are always endless and the wants are unlimited. If given a chance, one never loses a chance to acquire more. And how much ever a man acquires he is unsatisfied. For the sake of little pleasure, inshort, to increase his wants, to acquire more wealth one never hesitates to leave his own country or leave his near and dear ones behind.***
In our surroundings I have seen how parents are forcing their children to pursue higher studies so that they get a well placed job and settle abroad. Mostly, they prefer to go to the western countries. So that after some years the parents too can join them and settle down there. Our country is opening lot of job opportunities here, but due to less salary as per the qualification and experience one prefers for a better option outside the country. While some esteemed institutions give salary with benefits, some of them hesitate to pay the salary on time leading them to quit the job in no time. There are some categories of people who just want to switch on jobs. Though they earn a handsome salary they prefer to go for better prospects. In contrast to this, they take time to realize **grass is not always green on the other side.** Some of them with high expectations leave the high paid job and go after expectations above their realization to the fascinated land. Only much later will they get to realize that it was not their cup of tea. I personally know the experience faced by two of my friends. One friend was in the fantasy world for long with family and kids settled over their for years. The children were educated their. Though they strictly adhere to our culture there, the children have taken steps to settle down with citizens of that country. This has infact disturbed the serenity of the home. It quiet hurts them and they wanted to move back to our country. The children are against their will to come back and settle down for good. Another friend was facing a lot of mental stress and pressure in his job due to which he suffers mentally and physically. How he wish he could move back to his country but he is not able to travel as his passport is being held there for various reasons. By the time we get to realize things go out of your hand and it is too late to mend up. Some of them unable to bear the heavy expenses prefer a better option. To make a better living by going abroad. Some win while some lose. ***Trust me we can find happiness with less income also. Only thing we should cur off some privileges which we are entitled to. When you are with your close ones, you will have less health issues and mental stress.*** Image captured from my mobile. My sincere thanks to all those who comment and upvote my post.

So true they saying all that glitters are not gold. People tend to make wrong choices because they are being controlled by acquisition of material things, rather than happiness. One thing have learnt, it is not always green on the other side. We are in control of our happiness
