I am struggling to understand this quote...does it mean:
A) Be thankful for the "green grass" you already have
OR
B) Never stop searching for "greener grass"
thank you...

The Rolling Stones said it best:
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need
Never thought I would use Mick to state a point, but that nails it. It is a humans want or apparent need that is the hill.
The sun also rises, explains it good. That is Ecclesiastes.
That quote is B)
People are never happy with what they have, so they search for better fields of grass to lay the weary head down.
Rather ironic.

Have you ever noticed that the grass is always greener over a septic field line?
It may be greener on the other side but it has to be cut more often.

With this quote it says in a nutshell that you need to be thankfull for what you have and that it is humannnormality to think that everything around them is already better that what they have and arent satisfied so thats what it means.

Neither...in a way. I've always heard it interpreted that what others have may seem better than what you have, but it isn't once you step in their shoes.

It means people are always jealous of what their neighbor has on the other side of the fence.

We will incorrectly think that what we have is not good enough.
We often covet something someone else has.
Yes be greatful for what you have

it means that you will always find something in someone that is better than yours but without really appreciating what you really have
example:your friend has the girfriend or boyfriend that you wanted.... but look.... you have that flatscreen tv on your wall
