In 2040, there are no more non-recyclable plastics. Everything that is produced can be recycled and used to make new products. Rivers and oceans are clean, climate change is less pronounced. People have become more tolerant and have much more empathy for other people and animals. The cure for all types of cancer has been found, the health system has become much better and health care is available to everyone. There is almost no social inequality. Hunger in the world is eradicated, and rich people try to help those who are poor as much as possible.

Dear Europe, how lovely to see you occupied by the sun of God and the faith in God. How pleasant it is to live in a community that prays together, that goes to the World without going to the Holy Mass, something that was impossible to imagine some 20 years ago when churches were closed and there was no such way of life. It is more pleasant to live in a land that does not care for consumerism, but which respects freedom and the citizen, in which the politicians who are chosen from the nation are subordinate to the nation and serve and counsel for it. We are all sober and we believe that this can remain the case.

It's February 18, 2050. On this harsh winter's day, everything outside is frozen. The ground is covered with 50 centimeters of snow. We're used to it: for 10 years running, snow has fallen in abundance all over the world. Over my head, the birds have been replaced by flying cars, those strange machines that no one thought would ever fly. After polluting the ground with their petroleum-based rubber tires, they're now polluting the sky. It's a good thing that not everyone can afford these machines, otherwise it would be just as messy as it was on the ground back then.

That's right, I was able to buy an apartment I like and love for a reasonable price, which makes me live without anxiety about paying. My education has given me a great job with good pay close to my home, I pay as little tax as possible as the owner of an independent beauty salon, and I run my salon with ease. I no longer pay exorbitant prices in the shop as I did in the past, I pay what is fair because the prices are fair. A few times a year I take a good holiday wherever I want, because my honest profit allows me to do so. I enjoy life without worrying whether I will have money to live on tomorrow and I look forward to life with my loved ones.
