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?

MI VISION FUTURA DE EUROPA
I would like a future European continent that is fairer, with less deception, with a policy at European and global level, with fair politicians and who look for citizens rather than for companies. And that they stop doing politics at the level of one party to annoy the others.I would like an advanced Europe in technology, but a technology that serves us to be better. Let terrorism be eradicated and let politics stop stealing. Especially a broader level of protection than we have now.

Sapnis par Latviju
The year 2040 is not so distant in the future, in the meantime even this year the born child will not have reached the age of majority. And as you know, children grow up fast and years fly away like birds, see, already 2040. There is no more war in the world, people live in peace and do everything to improve their living conditions, do nothing to the detriment of the environment, are empathetic, helpful to each other, and most of the time life takes place without unnecessary worries. I go to a cafe, a local shop or somewhere else and I am addressed by a smiling and welcoming staff. There is no longer a trace of what it was at the beginning of 2000, when too often I saw acidic and stiff faces, and I always compared why people in England, Spain, Italy, etc. smile and are better. We are no longer shy to say to everyone that we are from Latvia, and there is no more division of people into Latvians and non-Latvians, because everyone speaks Latvian and develops local culture, because we are all citizens of Latvia with one goal to make their lives better!

2040 no futur
January 1, 2040 How will this new year be better or worse than the previous ones? And it may be worse between human stupidity, these new epidemics, these wars. Will we and our descendants one day live in a better world not idyllic but just better??? I actually think that people will be more selfish in a society of fear, which is why we need to restore more justice, our borders. Europe has been a beautiful utopia Will there exist in 2040 great men of great women as we knew in the 20th century, century of the lights Our adventurers will be astronauts willing to sacrifice their lives for a distant destination. Is that what man deserves?

Rauhan ja vapaus
The most important thing is to have peace in Europe. Each country would live independently and independence would be respected by others. Democratic elections. One country would not be able to torpedo joint decisions, so democracy would prevail in the EU as well. Geographical differences would be better taken into account, e.g. when allocating grants. Unnecessary administration should be able to be eliminated and decisions made more quickly to become legally valid at both EU and Finnish state level.
