The year is 2040 and this is a good year. Another great war is behind us, half the world was included and now there is peace and the reconstruction of our time.
Many people have lost their lives, many children have been minimized and many plants have been destroyed.
Now we have a time in which people stick together (again), do everything together, show off something great together: community life!

Small and large work together as best they can, it is no longer about envy, exclusion, the color of a person does not matter, the size, the appearance ..., it is only about the person himself, about his person and his respective importance.

There is no more homelessness, hardly any violence because everything is accessible.

Everyone helps as much as they can.

Children go to school, people work wherever they need to.

Capitalism died in the war. Everyone has living space, in fact there is now more living space than people. There are balcony herbs everywhere, everyone has planted beds, even at home in mini-greenhouses. All the neighbors help each other.

Cabs are accessible for short distances, buses too, because tickets are free. Everyone is educated. Illiteracy is slowly disappearing. Former prisons have created an ideal resocialization with more free space. The brutality is gone. Everyone has everything they need. Goods are no longer in abundance, they are accessible to all, for general use and rent.

The way we work will change. Teleworking in the roaring years gave an impetus to the fact that work no longer requires a physical presence in the office for all jobs.By 2040, work will be done four days a week. This will allow for a greater degree of disengagement from work for time off. Nature and being close to nature will become an important part of people's well-being. Our environment will demand greater attention as a result of climate change. We work with respect for nature. We will return closer to nature. Local food, local tourism, work will also be done nearby, the need to travel will be reduced.

Die große Hoffnung
The EU becomes the largest economic crisis nation. The nations have fewer rights and less influence as they give the EU legislative powers. The USA, Russia and China improve their product quality and prices, otherwise the EU destroys their economies with sanctions. Through this power, the EU stabilizes large parts of the Middle East and Africa.

I hope that we will be spared wars until 2040 and beyond. The past has shown that it can only be negative and we should have learned from that. I hope we have a future in which diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's can be cured and accidents can be prevented by modern technology.

Zukunftsmusik
In 2040, people have returned to their values and live more in community and togetherness than individualism. This starts in the closest circles, in families, and extends to social groups and institutions such as kindergartens and schools, universities and communities of interest throughout the population and does not stop at national borders. This issue is also being taken up in politics and international understanding and peace talks with a view to a future in which the next generation can still live well will be established. Natural resources will be used responsibly. New ideas will emerge on how to take appropriate account of nature. And how to use them well for humanity without exploiting them. There will be a shared vision for the future based on values and human rights.
