Life in harmony and sustainability

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Life is good, better than ever before. We live in a community and environment where sustainable food, transport and housing are the new normal. There are incentives for these sustainable modes of living, making it clear that non-sustainable options are more expensive and not done. I see more co-housing projects with intergenerational families who feed themselves from nearby CSA-farms and have access to public transport and good cycling routes; more tele-working to increase quality time at home; preventive health-care focusing on boosting our immune systems, improving flexibility, and healthy diets; far better access to mental health (preventive through meditation, yoga, etc. and access to personal development workshops, and reactive with a better offer of holistic approaches to psychotherapy). We have a multi-coloured community based on solidarity between those who have and the have nots, autochthones and immigrants.

In 2040, I imagine a world without traffic jams cars driving on the road will be displaced by hovering cars. Everything will be made more robotic. Plastic will be displaced by greener, biodegradable materials, making people healthier, animals less likely to die and the environment cleaner.

Living Good Lives
In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

I can easily imagine a very different kind of medicine, free at last to bring together all the potential of treatments and therapists. Where body, mind, emotions and the subtle planes will be treated together. The rational will join the holistic. People will take charge of themselves and change or adapt their behavior. The feminine and the masculine will finally be approached differently. Ancestral and archaic patterns will be gently and self-evidently eroded. Our conditioned programs will be able to move, and it will no longer be possible to stay where we are. This is the world that's on the move. It's not yet perceptible, but it's there.

Ohne Sorge leben!
I wish that all pensioners could live without money worries in old age. I can see for myself that as a severely disabled pensioner I am forced to earn extra money. I can barely make ends meet with my pension. I know others who collect bottles and also work. It would be good if the state did more to address this social injustice. Pensioners who have their own house and land and have worked all their lives to secure their old age are currently being ripped off with high property taxes. This should no longer happen. It is the duty of our government and politicians to think of their own fellow citizens first.
