Green green grass

There is this new so called "reality" televion show. Can't remember the exact name of it, but think its called "Exchanging spouses" or something like that. The aim of the show is to answer the ago old proverbial statement, "The grass is greener on the other side".

pro·ver·bi·al (pr-vûrb-l)
adj.

1. Of the nature of a proverb.
2. Expressed in a proverb.
3. Widely referred to, as if the subject of a proverb; famous.


Its about 2 families, usually one better off than the other family in terms of material comforts. The 2 families exchange wives for a week. There is a cash prize of $20000 and the new wife will decide for the family how to spend it. Its a pretty duh show actually but nights can get a bit boring, so...

so is the grass greener on the other side? Perhaps it is, but it might be bitter at the same time. Or perhaps more difficult to digest. So the secret is to actually be contented. A simple life is way much better.
