Perspective by JRC

Lately, I've been pondering a few things. Lets say, you have a nice, luxurious lawn. You water it, mow it, take care of it to the best of your ability. Your lawn looks vibrant but on the other hand, your neighbors lawn looks atrocious. There are dirt patches, crab grass, and everything is overgrown. One day, your neighbor comes over for dinner. The topic comes up, you've got an excellent backyard out there, if only I had the time, mine could match. You say something like, well your lawn is kind of an eye sore, maybe you could put some effort into it, I mean I spend hours daily on my lawn. But wait a minute, he says, your retired so you have all the time in the world to tend to yours, I on the other hand work at an important business and have to work, what may be hours of yard work you do, I am also working hours, hours at work, hours raising a Family, and every night while you're admiring your lawn, I am admiring my nice family and career, it is very fulfilling. Now I ask one question, which neighbor's grass is really the greenest?
