Most of us are staring at a fence. Most of us can't climb that fence. So we'd rather go through it; knock it down, or carve a hole big enough to crawl through. Some of us are on the same side of the fence, while others reside beyond it, on the other side.
They say the grass is greener on the other side. But here's the thing...I'M on the other side. I've been there my whole life. The grass is green over here, yes. But so is yours. And I've been trying to get to the other side, just like you. Wanna trade sides?
Now you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about. Basically, there is no "greener." There are only different shades of green. No matter what side of what fence, no matter how green you think the grass might be, you're all equal. There's nothing separating the ghetto from the rich neighborhood...except that damned fence. Without fences, walls, gates, the land is all the same. And so are the people. "All men are created equal." It's where they go that changes.
Don't hop the fence or climb over the gate to get to your friend's castle. No. If you want to live like a king, BUILD a castle. Make your side of the fence the one with the greener grass. Or, love the shade of green that's already there. There is no higher or lower. The ground is level. The only value of said ground is that which you place upon it. If it weren't for fences, we'd all be equal again, like we were created to be. Green grass. Castles.
