Après le bruit des bottes...

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's 2040, the past 15 years have been terrible. Fascists and Nazis were at the head of Russia and the United States. They allied themselves to redraw the map of the world. Ukraine was looted and destroyed, divided Europe was attacked. Our policies thought only of their power and the divisions that led to the impoverishment of the population. A perverted clown elected as the head of the United States and his billionaire ally have ended all actions designed to protect our planet by cancelling all measures to protect the environment. Fortunately, when the sound of boots got too close, a burst of lucidity allowed Europe to reunite, our policies to finally take measures to fight against these men thirsting for power and money and the peoples to unite and work for the recovery of nations. In 2040, Europe, enlarged to include countries that had long aspired to integrate it, finally found its way to lasting peace. Of course there are differences between the different countries, but conflicts are settled by negotiation and not by weapons. The elect work for the people and not for themselves. Solidarity has regained its rightful place in society and the richest contribute to aid for the poorest, as they should have done for a long time, without jeopardizing jobs. It's 2040 and... I just woke up...

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive

Älter werden im Dorf
Ich bin älter geworden. Ich habe mir mit meinem Partner den Traum erfüllt, nochmal ein Haus zu bauen - im Garten des alten Hauses war ja schließlich noch Platz! Kleiner als das alte Haus ist es nicht geworden, dafür besser aufgeteilt. Wir haben uns in die obere Wohnung zurückgezogen - das Büro im Untergeschoss wird nicht mehr gebraucht, seit wir uns aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückgezogen haben. Jetzt dient es als Appartement, wenn Kinder und Enkel zu Besuch kommen. Unsere Nachbarschaft verändert sich ständig. Trennungen und Todesfälle sorgen für Wechsel. Die Häuser stehen nicht lange leer. Es ist sehr beliebt, im Dorf zu wohnen. Hier achtet man immer noch aufeinander und das Zusammenleben funktioniert. Es gibt viele Angebote für Jung und Alt, dem meisten Leuten ist es wichtig, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Insgesamt eine gute Umgebung, älter zu werden.

I would like 2040 to be antidiscriminate for people above 26 years old to get job. I mean here 26 years old is unmet to apply jobs. I mean its limited only from 18 to 25 years old. And the rest people are jobless even 40s and 50s years old. The issues are a lot. But i can't believe it its difficult here also to do business or self employee. Because everyone also have no job, and less moneys, to buy our products very challenging. I wanna see this will improved and people are secure financialy, can pay taxes, more integrity, prosper. I can't describe the future would be. Clearly, the future i wish is full of blessings and prosperity.
