Freedom to be

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Regarding 2040 I wish all European Citizens and, hopefully, every single human could happily live feeling free to be itself, despite its gender or sexual orientation.

Over the past millenniums human history has unfortunately been a bloody story of domination between aristocrats and plebeians; masses of people and the outcast; royalty and commoners, slaves, and the other underclasses. In a few words, a story of discord, aggression, terror and transgression.

This way, I dream on a future in which equality and the freedom to be will have a feasible and real meaning in this world.
During my life journey I have seen lots of friends and relatives struggling about their sexual orientation, going a long way towards self-acceptance, and, as Mr. Luther King, I do have a dream.

I have a dream that every teenager and adolescent exploring itself and its sexuality wouldn’t need to fight against stereotypes, prejudices, misconceptions or even his/her family and friends to reach acceptance because of been genuine, honest and truly sincere with itself and its relatives.

I dream on people not needing to face mental health issues, and alienation feelings because of this. I dream with my friends not needing to face all the uncomfortable and aggressive situations they’ve faced and they still face because of not being heterosexual.

I have a dream that a world conquered by respect and love to one another, of neighbor, can be reachable.

I have a dream on freedom, liberty and justice.

I have a dream, and hope on human kind.

By 2040, there will be no war in Europe. Everyone has an open dialogue with other countries and all countries in Europe are democracies where regular elections are held. There is freedom for people to move across borders. There are many opportunities for jobs and to develop.There is the freedom to express one's opinion even if not everyone likes it. In addition, there are strict enough laws for harsh crimes against people such as rape and murder. Children's rights are respected and corruption is something that does not exist and also something that is not tolerated.

The artificial intellect is the future of the 2040s and beyond. It will also be a positive and negative aspect of human life. Harmful because the privacy of a person may disappear, and the advantage that a person will be integrated into the wider world of technology, this will allow a better knowledge of human health, life. In the future, climate problems will be much more pronounced. Water levels will rise drastically and air pollution will be the highest in human history. Together with technology, people will strive to scale up and finally improve the Green Deal. The current struggle in Ukraine, in the geopolitical world, is deciding the future of the Ruropa states first in 100 years, so today we must take measures not only to reduce pollution, but also to support the states fighting for democracy. Otherwise, we will find ourselves in a witness situation where the war on the European continent will affect every European and take us back, not 100 years.

A balance between freedom and security. More horizontal links.
Europe's future is secure, with convenient transport links to any point in the union. Low taxes, allowing entrepreneurship to develop. Improved public services allowing most actions to be done electronically, like in Estonia. Fewer regulatory restrictions (environmental, AI, etc.). Compulsory higher education for all citizens. More nuclear power plants and compact safe reactors. Less bureaucracy, more horizonal links and public self-regulation on the ground.

I imagine that I am in Pula, alive and healthy and my family is healthy. As I currently have health problems, I imagine and wish that quality health protection is available to people at all times that it is free and of good quality. For everyone. I imagine that I live in a society where no disease is stigmatized and that society prioritises the elderly, the sick and the disabled. I imagine that as humans we have overcome greed, egoism and care for each other. And again that we have bedpmatous health, everyone has free medication, free dental services and that then mental hygiene will be a priority. Namely, everyone can do without shame and fear to go regularly to the psychologist for discussion and advice. Every nation has priority for the health of its inhabitants , both physically and mentally. For what kind of nation and civilization are we if the health service is not available to everyone and not to profit from someone's illness and powerlessness. Healthy people are the basis for a healthy society.
