OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

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?

That's right, I was able to buy an apartment I like and love for a reasonable price, which makes me live without anxiety about paying. My education has given me a great job with good pay close to my home, I pay as little tax as possible as the owner of an independent beauty salon, and I run my salon with ease. I no longer pay exorbitant prices in the shop as I did in the past, I pay what is fair because the prices are fair. A few times a year I take a good holiday wherever I want, because my honest profit allows me to do so. I enjoy life without worrying whether I will have money to live on tomorrow and I look forward to life with my loved ones.

In 2040, the world looks like a place where freedom and individual choice are at the center. People have greater control over their own lives and decisions, and society is based on a market economy where competition and entrepreneurship flourish. Technology and innovation drive growth, and people have access to a wide range of opportunities for personal development and prosperity. Religious influences are less evident, and societal norms are more secular, with greater emphasis on science and rational thinking. The role of religion in political decisions and public institutions has diminished, and people are free to follow their own spiritual paths without feeling constrained by tradition or dogma. In this future, people live in a world that is more diverse, open and driven by personal freedom and economic liberty.

The year is 2040. I can't believe everything has changed so much. When I was young in 2025, there were no flying cars. Back then, they were only fuel-powered and very few were electric. And most importantly. Back then, people were more offended than they are today. Today they are happier, freer and have more time. They only work 5 hours at work and then spend time with loved ones. We could not afford that then. 2050 is a very nice year, more economical, more relaxed and people are smiling, they are happy.
