Is the life of others better than ours?

We always think that the life of others is better than ours.
We wish to have a life like others - like the people whom we think are perfect and happy.
Even if we know in our hearts that their life is not perfect, we still think it is better than ours.
It's human nature to wish for better things -

And it is not wrong.

In fact, having a desire for betterment - to get better things and to have a better lifestyle is good because it motivates us to work harder and improve ourselves.

However, one can not gain true happiness if it is done just for the sake of competing with others - because of jealousy.
Jealousy creates restlessness - and a restless mind can never be happy.

Instead of competing with others, it's better to compete with ourselves - to make our tomorrow better than yesterday. Trying to gain more knowledge to accomplish our goals and to attain more contentment in mind will help us to achieve more happiness. 

We may think that the grass on someone else's lawn is greener than ours - which may not necessarily be true.
The grass is greener on the lawn that is most cared for.
Therefore, instead of looking at others, we should honestly and sincerely try to take care of our own needs and goals - to improve ourselves.
