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?

Medmänsklighet
When my daughter is a young adult, she can go out into the world with a positive feeling and security. We have no wars or major political conflicts (trade tariffs, power-mad imperialists like presidents, etc.) but the world is peaceful and politically stable. Gang crime and serious crime have significantly decreased and the risk of ordinary people being killed or injured in gang-related violence or terrorist acts is minimal. My daughter can trust her fellow man.

Libertad de futuro
A clean future, without environmental risks, with the right temperature, with water and food for all, with work and opportunities for research, development, medical and technological evolution. A future where we can all develop our concerns. A future where we are equal wherever we are and want to be. A future without conflicts and free trade, freedom to go and interact with those we want. A future with medical advances that allow us to live longer and, of course, better. A future where we can enjoy our time after finishing the job.

sthlm 2040
In 2040, I wake up in my home in Stockholm, a city that has undergone major changes over the past 25 years. I look out the window and admire the green roof gardens and solar panels that adorn every building. The city has become a model for sustainability and innovation. After breakfast, I take my electric bike to work. Bicycle paths are wide and safe, and the air is clean thanks to the strict environmental laws introduced in the 2030s. On the way I pass several parks where people enjoy the morning sun, and I notice how much greener the city has become. At work, a research center for renewable energy, I am working on a project aimed at improving the efficiency of solar cells. I remember how, in the 2020s, Europe started to invest heavily in renewable energy and how it led to a reduction in CO2 emissions and an increase in energy security. After work, I meet my friends at a local market. We talk about how technology has changed our lives, from smart homes to advanced medical care. We also discuss social changes, such as increased gender equality and inclusion, which have made Europe a fairer and more harmonious place to live. When I go home, I think about how much the world has changed since 2025. I feel hopeful for the future and proud to be part of a society that values sustainability, innovation and human rights

Izaugsme un attīstība
All people have become different, all are honest, full of goodness and love for the people around them. Children are brought up according to general human and ethical principles. Therefore, given that people have become open and full of love, there is no more crime and mutual wars. Humanity does not spend its resources on the redistribution of power and money, but is fully involved in the development of human beings, which is why it is happening very rapidly.
