Landmarks

People become very confused when their landmarks are taken away. It doesn't even have to be something on the road, any familiar area in life is like a landmark. Faces change, towns are renovated, each adjustment takes time to adapt to. Even something as simple as the movement of a display item in a store can lead people to doubt their memories. "Was it here?, it was wasn't it?" "Maybe I am thinking of the other store." Once assured that their memory is correct and the change has taken place, there is small satisfation in being correct. Then the notion that everything is always changing settles in. Depending on what changed, this can be good or bad. Either way, change resonates, leaving behind a reminder that things are not always as certain as we remember.
