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?

Το πράσινο μέλλον
The future in 2040 would have been much greener. Every neighborhood and park every sidewalk has trees. I'd like kids not to keep their cell phones all the time but to walk in nature in the fields on the trails. I would like the smog to be reduced, the exhaust gas to be reduced and life to have more quality than now.

Nature will rule
in 2040 nature will have covered places where there were cities before, wild animlas will be living everywhere and politicians would not rule the wrold anymore. Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and many other awful politicians will be dead. People will live together without fighting each other, they will live in peace without anyone ruling them and telling them what to do. there will be peace all over the world, everyone will have enough food and money will not be used anymore as it is a bad thing and just brings troubles and fights.

PEACE and PROSPERITY
PEACE and PROSPERITY. In today’s world, there is too much overly aggressive conflict—race, nationality, religion, radical political decisions, war on the EU’s borders, refugees, and constantly rising food prices. These are all very important issues that need to be addressed. But it should be done thoughtfully, with the prosperity of the EU in mind. I want to live peacefully, in harmony, prosperity, and understanding, to have the opportunity to speak my own language and communicate with my loved ones. I hope that my children will be able to go to school without facing aggression from their peers just because they come from a family that speaks a different language than Estonian. Right now, children from other nationalities face serious difficulties in the learning process in public schools.
