OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Make Europe awesome again
People live together peacefully. A pan-European Security Council has united all armies from Britain to Russia. People have access to education, medical care and are supported if they cannot earn a living on their own. Production progress through AI and automation means people have to work six hours a day and four days a week. Many people devote themselves to cultural and voluntary activities. The energy is produced without exhaust gases and is cheap. There is enough food available for a healthy diet.

In 20 years, Europe will have changed a lot. Computers and computers are the future. The green transition is taking hold and the people are obsolete. Unfortunately, the political situation is not improving much. Russia is still dictating, and Putin's disappearance from the picture does not change anything. Society is in poverty. The rich are richer and the poor are poorer. Ukraine is just the beginning and the gloomy future will become a reality. History repeats itself and Russia conquers Europe.

unerreichbares Wunschdenken
It would be nice if everyone was fine. No one should starve, no one should freeze. No one would have trouble affording their life. You could move freely anywhere and you wouldn't have to be afraid of anything happening. Togetherness would not only be pleasant and carefree, but would also make you happy. All people would understand each other and be happy to be a part of the secular community. No war, no strife, no criminal activity would cloud everyday life and joy would be the standard of life. This is what a better future would look like. But for this to happen, humanly incapable contemporaries, such as Putin, Trump or Austria's Kickl, would have to make a turnaround that could not be considered possible and instead of inciting people to each other, they would have to promote the community. Unfortunately, this is all fiction, since man is obviously not created to want the good for everyone in general, but egoism is far too great to be allowed to wish for such behavior even in approaches.

It's 2040. I'm 58 years old. I have two grown children . Life is simple. People are valued. It's human to live. Salaries and costs are in balance. I can afford with my worries everything necessary and elementary for life. Food is healthy, not just cheap. The price of fuel is reasonable. Rooms are warm because you don't have to worry about bills (because salaries and expenses are in balance). No one comes up with an idiotic way of emptiing a nation's money, but every nation is heartbroken by its own people. Medical services are easily accessible. Those in need will get help, social services are not inclined toward municipalities, but they are in order to be on the side of a person - with advice and strength. Beautiful time ♥️ ....that it's going to be really bad when you think back to 2025.....
