Bildung macht den Unterschied

I wake up to a daylight lamp. I get ready for a job. I voluntarily chose the 5-day week when I could choose between a 4-day and a 3-day week. There is a lot of emphasis on freedom. I can choose and it's no problem to work more or less. I'm not doing it for the money, but because I'm still young and understand that my work is important. I became aware of my work, my actions and the contribution I make to society, to myself and to my fellow human beings at school. Expectations of self-efficacy were raised. Educational institutions have moved away from rigid math, German and English lessons. Sure - knowledge is taught, but above all values. Education is what sets us apart from the world in 2025. People of all kinds are accepted and respected. Open values are taught from kindergarten to university. The legal system has become very strict. Over 1000 euros are charged for speeding - I think that's good! This kind of paternalism protects us.
So I go to work for my 8 hours, buy a slice of cake on the way home by public transport - expensive but delicious, I want to treat myself to this luxury - and drink coffee with my little family. Then I go to the gym. The health insurance companies and doctors have understood that sport is very important. I pay my club membership as a donation and my children's gym fees are almost entirely covered by the health insurance.
After dinner, my older son returns from his community service. This is compulsory for everyone after school. Alternatively, you can choose to do a year's military service. There's no money for it, but lots of experience. But the young people don't mind, because they have been brought up and shaped in such a way that knowledge and experience are worth more than money.

The works will be accessible remotely and lively according to their desire, the work will be creative, because monotony and repetitive works will be taken over by technological solutions, transport will be autonomous and only enthusiasts will drive their cars for entertainment, world peace and conflicts will be managed expeditiously and safely - the environment will be monitored everywhere, people will be identified. This is a bit more complicated in terms of privacy, but everything will be arranged in such a way that it will not be abused.

The future will belong to those who have money and power. You can already see this today and this development will be irreversible. Democracies will gradually become part of history. Climate change is much more advanced than we thought and there are wars over land and water and crops.

Humanity would pay attention to the environment and wildlife. Political decisions would be made with the desire to have the least impact on nature. There would be no more terrorist acts and our children could feel safe. Life would be peaceful.

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.
