My, how long has it been since 2025. The year when things finally started to get better for the earth.
It was November 12, my birthday. Blowing out my 45 candles, I made a heartfelt wish from the depths of my soul: "I wish I could save the world!" And here I am, 15 years later. I am now 60 years old, but the life of every human being has improved so much that 60 years is now equivalent to 40 in the 20th century. I have succeeded in stopping wars, eradicating extremism of all kinds, slowing down climate change, and above all, eliminating all kinds of social inequality. There are no longer poor and rich. Each person is free to be what he or she wants to be. Those who want to work can do so and those who do not want to, cannot. No one is forced. Everyone has the same opportunities anyway. Everyone has a house, everyone has food, everyone has electricity, water and internet connection. Everyone has medical care and medicine, and for many diseases a cure has been found, thanks to scientists who have continued to lend their skills with passion. You travel completely free to go anywhere you want, without the need for red tape. You get on a vehicle and go where your heart desires. Since there are no longer any social and economic differences, there is no need for wars. There are no longer the powerful and the weak. We are all equal. This has also helped alleviate problems such as depression, anxiety, violence, alcoholism, etc.... Because no one has anything to worry about anymore. We help each other, expecting nothing in return with the assurance that we will have the same help if we need it.
Oil and coal were set aside years ago. Only renewable energy is used. The air smells of flowers, woods, meadow and sea, depending on where you are.
Everyone has the same rights. Everyone is free to be who they prefer.

Wizja Europy
Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

Viltinga ateitis su taika su visais
The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.

I do not have much imagination, but I think that progress always brings something good and through Europe you will be able to cross the railway, get off in the cities and regions that I want to see and again continue the journey to the next place. The train will be modern and fast, and the journey will be a lot of pleasure. Every man will be able to afford such a journey. Perhaps air travel will also be available to everyone and what you will travel will be a matter of individual choice.Every person will be able to see the beautiful cities of , like Brussels or Paris, you will be able to see the Loire Valley and the surroundings of Lake Garda.This would be a great relaxation after work, which today requires a lot of dedication from people and takes more and more private time. In the pursuit of money, we leave small and large pleasures behind us and do not think about what we lose.
