You have the quote wrong. It's the grass is always greener on the other side. It means things always look better than the situation you are in.
it means that it always seems nicer until you hop that border
Actually, the expression is "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." It means that something you do not have may look more attractive than what you already have (the grass on YOUR side of the fence)
This is similar to the saying "The grass is always greener on the other side," meaning that things you don't have, etc. always seem more desirable than what you do have. It also suggests that if you do get to where the grass is greener, it may not be as great as what you imagined it to be.
Stems from the saying, 'The grass is greener on the other side.' As in, this is true that the grass on the other side may indeed be greener, but the other side is also yellow. The other choice (the greener grass) has it's own set of problems and things that could go wrong (symbolizes the yellow that is mixed in the green grass). Hope I helped.
We look at other people's lives and think that they are always 'doing better than we are'. Other peoples circumstances always seen to be more desirable than one's own

Something that is better than where you are or what you have or how things are. If it often used to say you are moving on to something better. If someone leaves a company to go to a better job, they could be said to be moving to a greener pasture.
It means for example- there's a women and man is dating. The women is a nice looking and a good women to her man. Here he she's another women who may be easy on the eyes to him. He leaves the first women by choosing the second woman. As time goes on he starts to see the 2nd woman true colors. She's not as nice and don't treat him good as the first women he was with. The 2nd woman is shallow. The man starts to see he had it much better with the first women. That's the saying it isn't greener on the other side. The man thought he had better with the 2nd woman, when all along he had all that he needed and wanted with the first woman. If you ever watched the first movie of " Why did I Get Married" when they mentioned the 80/20 rule. That's all of the saying in the nut shell.

That's the nature of the human condition - 'the grass is always greener....' etc.
There are big changes you want to happen but perhaps not thinking through properly. The grass is not greener and you need to count your blessings.
It means: stay where you are...someone else's life always looks better, maybe their husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend is better than the one your with, more than likely their not, or they have the better job, and make more money, but who knows how many hours their gone from their families to be where their at...
Two cliches in "The Giver" are "ignorance is bliss" and "the grass is always greener on the other side." These cliches are reflected in the themes of the story, particularly in the idea of sacrificing personal freedoms for the illusion of a perfect society.
