That's how I feel. To use an example I think planet Earth seem okay with both good and bad points but I've never lived in any other planets so I have no idea what life is like elsewhere on other planets or galaxies. Maybe it's time to get back my obsessive interest in space travel

Why don't you go ask a cripple if he enjoys being crippled?
I don't know how true it was but I remember reading an article that discussed how contrary to popular belief, most disabled persons don't want to be cured and (at the time) didn't admire Christopher Reeve. I've known persons with Down Syndrome, Blindness and Deafness and you know what they all have in common? They are ALL noticeably happier than the average person. Granted I'm not about to gouge my eyes and ears but I reject the idea that ASDs are 'disabilities' even if the NT world can be cruel to us. Once I accepted that I had Aspergers (or HFA) and finally accepted myself for who I am my life took a sharp turn for the better.
I can say I HATE it because it has been the reason I've failed to obtain any of the goals I truly cared about in life.
YES, I know the grass may not be greener on the other side of the fence, but most days I don't even feel like I have any grass of my own.
I'm still trying to be "happy" with who I am.
