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?

Hello. I would like in 2040. I would like to see a peaceful Europe with friendly citizens. One with wise politicians who think not only for themselves but for the people. I want our children to have a bright future with good education and wages according to their skills and work. I wish there are fewer accidents on the roads , better infrastructure etc.

In my future, even if it's a few years away, I predict that there really won't be any more combustion cars. I think the meadows will be greener and the animals will be able to return to a more natural diet. People will go back to the old ways, everyone sowing what they need for their homes and those who can, raising their own animals. We'll also return (we've already started) to the era of everything being repaired, nothing being thrown away. Whether it's household appliances or clothes, making new out of old. I don't think that future is that far away. We'll have less money for shopping, hence the need to make new out of old. We'll still have the new technologies (IT) to support us in certain sectors.

I would like to see a world without wars, exchanging raw materials as a community, without robberies and with the same corruption. Where children learn in community, with activities in schools from little ones such as cooking (they can help in the kitchen a month to each class, or to each half class), the theater where it teaches them to let go and throw out their emotions. Or where parents do not have to work so many hours and can follow more the growth of their children and stay longer to dedicate themselves to them, to have more time to enjoy is to play, to talk that nowadays is so lacking. A world where the material is not so important, we don't need to have expensive, branded clothes... or mobile phones, we need to have more words, but be careful with the next, more love. Where travel is not so expensive and we can leave, meet and share other experiences. Where to volunteer is not so expensive and we can help more the other continents that so much need more love, to know other realities.
