Gesund werden und nicht mehr allein sein.

Gesund werden und nicht mehr allein sein.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will be 87 years old and I don't know if I will still be in this world. Now, at almost 72, I am reasonably ill and still take little part in life together. I spend most of my time alone at home in my beautiful 3-room apartment with a balcony. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren but the contact is not that great. 2 children live near me, but they have their work, their house and their children. There is little time for me. When I need help, it usually works out that they help. How do I see the next few years? I would like to alleviate some of the symptoms of my illness or get rid of them completely.
If that is the case, I would like to fly, not that far. I've never been to a foreign country like Italy, France or even Austria. I've also got to know almost nothing of Germany. As I can't walk or stand for long periods, day trips are not for me at the moment. I would like to get to know a man again, not to move in together, but to go out and be there for each other. My last steady relationship is from 1997. I would like Germany not to be involved in a war and for our economy to flourish again so that we can maintain our social system. I would like to be that old, but who knows that about themselves.

the future is grandchildren
in 2040 I will be 72 and my children 32 and 31 - I hope I have grandchildren and that they live near. I hope my kids are settled workign and have decent places to live. air and watr are clean. i hope that the weather has settled and the enviroment stabalised - but I doudt it and I think my children will be facing more extreme weather. AI will impact their jobs but not to the extent the pessimists worry. I will be retired - but only just as I enjoy work, i will have a rich cultureal and social life and wont be worrying about caring for othes (those years are behind me). I might need to help my kids finaically just as my parents helped me - but they do ok.

Se på mig
When you sit in a café in the sun, people talk. The cell phones are gone. You look into each other's eyes and take an interest in each other. Respects differences, sexuality, skin tones and attitudes. They no longer judge each other. There is peace and quiet 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.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...
