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.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.

What I would like to see is a society in which everybody is living together and taking care of each other.It's no longer I but we. We take care of each other, the environment instead of the current life in which I is the most used word. We have taken a big economic downfall to reach it yet life is better, Life is harder yet more joyful. That's what I wish and hope for.
