I think of living in a community, where each still has his/her own private home. Doing and experiencing things together if you feel the need. Freedom and happiness. No need to do anything. I also think of a communal garden, where food is grown and to which everyone contributes a small amount. An animal area with chickens for the daily fresh eggs, a place where the chickens are well cared for and can scratch freely. A few sheep and goats for wool and making cheese from the milk. With an area that is safe where they can graze, with a sheep/goat herder who has knowledge of the animals.Furthermore, I would like to be self-sufficient in the community in terms of electricity and home made biogas. That can also be made in our community. There is a space for a school where the children of the community from 4 to 16 years old can learn and a space where the children can relax and learn. For the very young, childcare has been arranged. For the adults there is room to work in the communty according to their own ability and desire. The money you earn in the community is 50% yours and 50% for the cost of living in the community. In the community there is an anthroposophic doctor and also a homeopath, for both humans and animals. There are also things like an organic store with vegetables and fruits from our own garden, a library, a play area for the children, a meeting room for the adults and all the household things that go with it like washing machines, kitchen equipment and sound and viewing equipment. And there are laundry rooms, a large kitchen with a communal dining room, a private TV and music/radio room and much more. Finally everyone has an input into the community and has something to say. Everything is decided democratically.

Beginning 2035 years ago, the castles with the people at their backs, have no inhabitants, no gentlemen in their 8 squares of space allocated by the State. You have no place and you are a creature. You feed like a housewife on hens, industrial meat and industrial waste, the pharmaceutical industries are like a blessed breeze, every human being has some kind of pain from the suffering of all the months of the day. A beautiful future awaits us

I woke up this morning and stepped outside, breathing in the fresh air—cleaner than it had been in decades. I walked to the neighborhood market, where fresh affordable produce from local farms was abundantly available thanks to Europe’s 2030 policy on increasing subsidies for farmers so they get a fair price and not have to pass the increase on to the consumer My grand children played nearby with their pals from all different backgrounds, chatting effortlessly in multiple languages thanks to the continued EU Education Initiatives that make multilingual learning and culture projects free and accessible, fostering deeper understanding across nations. I meet my elderly parents for coffee, they are both in their 80s and in good health thanks to the eu wide shared health system that meant they could go to Europe for treatment and not sit for years on eating lists in ireland. They pay for their coffees using Universal Living Credit—a system introduced in 2041 to ensure financial stability for all citizens. We talk about life in general and about the news story of the day which is the anniversary of the day in 2026 that the EU finally stood up to Trump and Netanyahu, leading to a free Palestine and the downfall of the trump administration and his eventual incarceration. My three adult children join us for lunch as they are on a day off thanks to the EU four-day workweek policy. They talk excitedly about their plans for their new homes which they can easily afford because of house price control policies and decent salaries. I tell them horror stories about rent prices and homeless rates when they were babies, they don’t believe me. When I returned home that evening, me and my husband make plans for a trip to our second home in Spain later in the month. Later that evening our Ukrainian neighbors and fellow EU citizens stop by for a visit. I’m glad that in 2050, Europe isn’t just a continent; it’s a home for all.

So the future would be that the war between Russia and Ukraine would be well and truly over. There will be new diseases from the melting glaciers, but at the same time there will be cures for them. As far as Lithuania is concerned, I think life will certainly improve. Transport will be completely pollution-free. There will be a lot of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydroelectric power. The world will improve in the space sphere. There will be journeys to other planets.
