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.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that stands on its own. Photovoltaic panels, water recycling. Warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally, I have a greenhouse so I can eat the fruit and vegetables I grow myself. There will also be cameras for my security. I'd really like to see other forms of propulsion for my vehicle developed, with solar panels to recharge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity for them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Unsustainable plastic has replaced glass, garbage incinerators with efficient filters have finally made waste pits unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is breathable even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of armaments, we spend money on health care and equalizing opportunities for children and young people. All this may be, however, I will put it between fairy tales....

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where a major change has been made for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydro power have replaced fossil fuels. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and basic commodities such as potatoes and the like. Public transportation has switched completely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

When I wake up, the machines prepare the breakfast I usually have (coffee, toast and a piece of fruit). My clothes are ready and are automatically put on me. I take public transport, which flies fast and allows me to get to work quickly. It's not very sustainable, but it's practical. Cycling has become an activity that's losing ground because it's not as fast. Society is going faster and faster. Everything is computerized and doesn't allow for much social interaction, and that's the problem. As for family life, it's still all together in the same house, but that doesn't really make it feel like a family, as everyone is more isolated in front of an electrical device that occupies their free time.
