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?

Urban jungle
It's June 18, 2040. The sun rises above the rolling hills around Brussels, where dense forests and flowering meadows frame the skyline. The city is no longer a concrete jungle, but a vibrant ecosystem in which nature and people live together in harmony. Trams float silently over green lanes, and old roads have been transformed into hiking trails that meander along rippling streams and fragrant herb gardens.

Eestis tulevik
The Estonian language has been relocated, everyone in Estonia speaks Estonian. Estonia is self-sufficient and makes all its decisions both internally and externally. The EU has broken up. Taxes are minimal. Everyone has a job and people are happy and enjoy life. There are a minimum of 3 children in each family. Travelling has been made much easier and cheaper.

Jaderné zítřky.
People finally realized that renewable energy is not the only thing that people should use in the future, so they invested in nuclear research and its nuclear fusion and created reactors that are very powerful and at the same time extremely safe. People also realised that migration must be prevented and therefore began to act to prevent it consistently. There has also been greater compliance with climate treaties. Contracts on the immutability of national borders have been concluded and respected.

Spokojenost všech lidí bez válek a kriminality.
I imagine and hope that in 2040 Europe will be without wars. The despotic leaders will be in prison, and all states will be free. People will work and live and have a good time. People will respect the religion of others but not impose it on anyone who does not like it or does not want it. there will be pure nature, protected areas, people must behave towards nature and value it. People will abide by the laws of the country where they are located. They'll be respectful of each other, and they won't murder and kill each other. They will all have the right to housing and work that the state will help them find. If they work, they will have enough money for basic needs. Ukraine, in particular, will be a free country where Ukrainians, but also other nationalities, will live in peace. It will be rebuilt and the economy will function as it did before the war. The seas and oceans will be clean, and no garbage or poison will enter them. In schools, it will be taught in a modern way with the help of a tablet. In schools, children will wear the same clothes and may not wear phones to school. Transportation will be modern, electric cars and metro. Traffic will be in the tunnels so as not to pollute the ground. The basis will be satisfaction in families, children must listen to their parents .It will be a functioning police and courts will speed up. There will be domestic punishments and monetary high penalties.
