The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

It's a sunny winter's day. No more wars and the world is in harmony. Everyone around me is reasonably healthy and there is a cure for cancer thanks to research. Inflation and purchasing power remain more or less the same. The economic situation is improving and the refugee crisis has been resolved. People's fears are no longer being exploited by the media. That's all I want to write.

By 2040, people have become more aware of the animal suffering that comes with a piece of meat on your plate. Fewer and fewer people will eat meat and replace it with other foods. This will also reduce the greenhouse effect and give nature a helping hand. People get fewer physical complaints because they eat healthier and because of this there is also less unemployment among workers. Because we eat fewer animals, that space is exchanged for more nature, which increases biodiversity

Friede und Freundschaft für die Rasse Mensch
Some sunny day in the summer of 2040. I walk in the city park and see the people who also want to go outside to enjoy the day in the sun. They play with the dog, have fun with their children, do sports or just stand together in a small group and discuss everyday things. There is peace in the world, so there is no fear of attacks, acts of terrorism or air defense sirens. I am approaching a group of people – they are my neighbours, all normal and very nice people. They all welcomed me warmly when I moved here a few years ago. We all welcome each other and discuss briefly what we want to do on the weekend. Everyone has suggestions and we briefly discuss everything and quickly agreed on one of the activities. We easily arrange a meeting point and a time. I look forward to showing and telling them about my homeland again - as well as Hassan from Afghanistan, Ahmet from Turkey, Josip from Hungary, Alexandrej from Russia and Mike from England. All just normal people.

Fred i verden
Fred i verden. I 2040 vil jeg gerne - og mange tilsvarende - have at der er fred i verden. Verdens mange diktatorer er afsat og demokratiske folkevalgte styreformer er trådt i deres sted. De demokratiske valgte regeringer har den sociale velfærd i fokus. Det har betydet en kæmpe omfordeling af verdens ressourcer og den økonomiske ulighed mellem rig og fattig er minimeret. Det har samtidig betydet en minimering at mennesker der dør af fattigdomsrelaterede sygdomme. Der arbejdes også aktivt med at nedbringe ressourceforbruget og det har betydet at landbrugsforholdene er forbedret i syd og afsmeltningen af indlandsisen er stoppet.
