Seeking the ideal place...

You see the one I mean, the real end of the proverbial rainbow! 

Yet, there’s hardly a month that goes by without seeing another ranking of the “best places to live” in the US, any country, continent or in the whole wide world and with it, rankings of all kinds scattered all over the map, with plenty of room for discussion and some fiery debates.

In fact the more I think about it, the more I believe that this ideal place is now just a figment of our imagination or the by-product of our most distorted fantasies. It might be nowhere to be found, because all of these iconic, idealized places that sometimes jump out from our creative and restless brains don’t exist anymore or might simply have never been,

They’re all tremendously affected by a sneaking, consistent and relentless virus called change, and since change is no longer always for the best, there’s probably nothing we can do to change that somber reality.
