Ο κόσμος μας

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I imagine waking up in a world without discrimination and stereotypes, where everyone walks around "free" and naked without the needs and wants clashing.
2040 seems so close no matter how far away it is. I'll probably be in my late 50's and I hope I've done my best so that what I wrote a while ago will work. For God's sake (haha I'm not even a believer) I don't live in a utopia and I know that this specialization I present seems elusive.. but since when did being a simple everyday person who looks after himself and doesn't offend anyone with his existence become a luxury and utopia?
I hope if I have a family I can at least bring into the world and build characters of children with morals and ideals, who love with their hearts and not with their eyes.
That's pretty much what I would like to see when I wake up in 2040... money and comforts may come with hard work and effort, I'm not asking for favors!

After some radical upheavals, we are in a beautiful sunny spring. The seasons have changed, we are the last generation that still knows what it was like in the last millennium. But one gets used to everything, changes happen wherever the Earth stands and they have to be accepted. Finally it has happened, people have calmed down and focused on the joy of life, they have started to socialise and exchange. Previously fascinating advances in technology have become a necessary part of everyday life, but they have not succeeded in tearing people apart and throwing them into an otherwise voluntary isolation and self-centredness. Children chase each other around the meadows and help themselves to the fruit on the neighbour's pear tree, with their furry friends. Mothers know that children naturally develop into adults and responsible persons, having been deprived of this themselves. People have become tolerant, less egoistic and, as a result, happier. They have managed to turn technology and all changes in their favour, for the common good. Around us are smiling and sociable faces, aware of the role of their culture for future generations.

I hope for the future that the world will be so pacified by then that there will be no more such wars as before. Until then, it should be a matter of course in the "developing countries" that people can adjust peacefully to coexistence and design their lives with the right technology in such a way that everyone receives a reasonable standard of living, i.e. the right educational opportunities, sufficient food, etc. These countries manage their raw materials themselves and are reliable trading partners for the "industrial countries". The technology is so advanced that solar power can be stored in sufficient quantities, so that "Dunkelflauten" can also be overcome over several days and in winter. Especially in the desert areas, the solar power harvest will be so good that all people on earth will have their livelihoods, so that it would not be necessary to invade other peoples in armed conflicts.

I imagine that we are all very busy freeing nature from all the concrete. We are happy because there is finally security and peace all over the world. The bad people are gone and we can enjoy the good air and nature in all its splendor. We will cook and eat together, nobody is envious of anyone else. Everyone is happy with what they have, because they have everything they need to live. The waters are no longer polluted and no one is cruel to animals or uses them as test subjects. We all have only one faith and only one God, to whom we are grateful for everything he gives us every day. We are getting healthier and fitter every day and we can travel the world without money and see and experience everything that we previously only knew from books or movies. We will be welcome everywhere and get along with everyone. There will be no more stress or entrepreneurs who want to get richer and richer. Because no money in the world can buy life.

Between now and 2050 my life could be transformed in extraordinary ways. I imagine reaching personal and professional milestones that seem far away today. I might change careers, following a passion I have always kept hidden, or perhaps start a project that inspires others. My relationships will grow and change: new friendships, deep loves, perhaps a family that will enrich my days. Travel may take me to faraway places, opening me to different cultures and perspectives. Revolutionary technologies will affect my daily life, simplifying current challenges and offering me unimaginable opportunities. I know there will be obstacles, but every difficulty will make me stronger and wiser. Looking back in 2050, I may smile, acknowledging how much I have grown and how the path, with all its unexpected turns, has made my life unique and extraordinary.
