Itsekkyyden aika on jäänyt taakse, pidämme parempaa huolta toisistamme ja maapallostamme

Permanent world peace has been achieved. Political leaders have agreed that we respect each other's land and sovereignty, so we no longer need weapons against each other. The money saved has been used to tackle climate change and stop the rise in temperatures. Waste collection and recycling has also reached a level where it is beginning to look as if the earth's carrying capacity will last into the next century after all. Income inequalities have been levelled out, both in Finland and globally. We have found new ways of employing young people, for example through longer apprenticeships. Society continues to take care of the disadvantaged, but also by better integrating them. There is no ageism, neither for young people nor for seniors. This is how we can extend working careers. Work will be increasingly independent of time and place, so there will be no need to move in search of work, and we will keep Finland populated to the extent that it makes sense. People's mutual care, community spirit and altruism have increased and selfishness has disappeared. Finland is still the happiest nation in the world, but also the most knowledgeable. Learning and education have risen in value, and in return, culture and art are also valued.

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive

Älter werden im Dorf
Ich bin älter geworden. Ich habe mir mit meinem Partner den Traum erfüllt, nochmal ein Haus zu bauen - im Garten des alten Hauses war ja schließlich noch Platz! Kleiner als das alte Haus ist es nicht geworden, dafür besser aufgeteilt. Wir haben uns in die obere Wohnung zurückgezogen - das Büro im Untergeschoss wird nicht mehr gebraucht, seit wir uns aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückgezogen haben. Jetzt dient es als Appartement, wenn Kinder und Enkel zu Besuch kommen. Unsere Nachbarschaft verändert sich ständig. Trennungen und Todesfälle sorgen für Wechsel. Die Häuser stehen nicht lange leer. Es ist sehr beliebt, im Dorf zu wohnen. Hier achtet man immer noch aufeinander und das Zusammenleben funktioniert. Es gibt viele Angebote für Jung und Alt, dem meisten Leuten ist es wichtig, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Insgesamt eine gute Umgebung, älter zu werden.

I would like 2040 to be antidiscriminate for people above 26 years old to get job. I mean here 26 years old is unmet to apply jobs. I mean its limited only from 18 to 25 years old. And the rest people are jobless even 40s and 50s years old. The issues are a lot. But i can't believe it its difficult here also to do business or self employee. Because everyone also have no job, and less moneys, to buy our products very challenging. I wanna see this will improved and people are secure financialy, can pay taxes, more integrity, prosper. I can't describe the future would be. Clearly, the future i wish is full of blessings and prosperity.
