What does suger candy mountain represents and what might this idea symbolize in our world today?

Sugar Candy Mountain stands for Paradise. It is a magical paradise, where everyone has more than enough to eat, and they don't have to work....... each of them would like to believe that such a place exists. We still have ideas of perfect places that do not exist both literal and figuratively. Moving to Hawaii or winning the lottery are just two examples: things are seldom what they seem.
