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!

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.

Srečna in svobodna Evropa v prihodnost
In 2040, Europe was developed sustainably, using only environmentally friendly energy sources for electricity production, which are, of course, renewable. Most houses are equipped with a smart management system that optimises the use of energy as much as possible. The air is clean, we have stopped global warming, man is brother to man racism and we have eradicated discrimination
