"L'herbe est toujours plus verte au-dessus de la fosse septique"

Simplified Meaning:
It's common for people to think that other people's lives are better or easier, but that's not usually the full story. Imagine a neighbor's lawn looks really lush and green. It might seem perfect and make you a bit jealous. However, the grass might be so green because it's growing over a septic tank, which isn't pleasant or desirable when you think about it. This means that even if someone else's life seems better, they might have their own hidden problems or challenges. Rather than wishing for what others have, focus on appreciating and improving your own life. For instance, social media often shows only the best parts of people's lives, but everyone has bad days and struggles.
