I've noticed that people tend to wish for whatever they don't have(like dark-haired people usually want light-colored hair and vice versa). Can anyone roughly explain this?

-We unconsciously placed superhuman characteristics on the object we desire -
The grass looks greener on the other side. Everybody always wants the opposite of what they hsve. For ex. I have dark hair and I'd kill to be blonde. One of my friends has blonde hair and she'd do anything to have my dark hair.
