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.

After years of unrest and wars, all the ministers, chancellors and presidents sit down together and negotiate a lasting peace. Everyone knows that there is only one chance. And...it works, after years of cooperation, the fruits of peace and prosperity can be reaped.

Europa
A Europe where peace reigns. Travel is possible without any border controls. Everyone will be able to afford electricity from renewable energy sources. Public transport will be so well connected that you won't need your own car, even in rural areas. Car sharing will be used for larger purchases. The environment will be so well protected that even almost extinct animal and plant species will be able to regenerate.

I envision a Europe where the dictates of political parties are just a bad reminder of how things have failed in the past. I imagine a single land of European peoples united by a common interest in solving their own problems, without having to deal with political assumptions that have led to the collapse and ruin of democratic states and the despair of so many citizens, who have lived and suffered within a community that should have solved so many problems and, instead, has brought new ones. I imagine my Europe, for which I fought my most tender years, free from the accartona politics, whose goal is the seat, it is their own "particulare," and not the family (that of others); it is the appearance at any cost, putting their signature on even the most unimaginable documents. They care little anyway, as long as they "enter history." So much for Europe, to which they fatten themselves by saying they are parliamentarians. I imagine Europe uniting peoples and people, but, not with a common currency, which has impoverished them. A Europe that is not carried away by the often morbid imagination of a few, and that, above all, the men and women who represent it, live on this earth!

Sitting in a café in the sun, people are talking to each other. Cell phones are put away. You look each other in the eye and take an interest in each other. Respecting differences, sexuality, skin colors and attitudes. People no longer judge each other. There is peace and calm in the world. No one feels superior to anyone else. The focus is on the contact, interaction and respect between people. There is peace and no stress
