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?

O fim do populismo
27 January 2040 My youngest son wakes up in a rebuilding Europe. But she's happy. There's sun on the horizon again. Political populism has ruined borders and pushed the planet beyond its capacity for regeneration. But they disappeared more than a decade ago. As always, society has reacted. From the energy and environmental limitations was made creativity. The green spaces returned to the cities. Borders have reopened and tolerance is once again a quality. By bike , the young adults go to the university campuses. Study, create, and recover the beauty of the world

Egy nap Európában 2040-ben
In the morning I wake up in an apartment built in a green area, covered with solar panels, which, thanks to the innovations of previous generations, is completely self-sustaining. The energy comes from clean sources, the water flows recycled, and the home artificial intelligence system monitors my health while making suggestions for optimizing my daily routine. My city, which used to be smogy and noisy, now operates with quiet and sustainable transport systems. Electric self-driving vehicles, which we use together, serve the cleanliness of the atmosphere, while air purification towers have eliminated pollution. Communities are engaged in local food production: We eat crops grown on urban farms, which are almost carbon neutral due to the short supply chain. By 2040, the European Union has successfully achieved its climate neutrality goals. Community initiatives starting in 2025, such as green technology developments and sustainability education, have led to a huge societal transformation. Solidarity between people has been strengthened and equality has become a fundamental principle. The revolution in education has also had an impact on our daily lives: learning has become a lifelong process with a focus on innovation and cooperation. The future has now become a reality, and it is a world that we have dreamed of together.

Desejos
Since 2025 everything has improved. When the war ended in Ukraine and managed to maintain its independence, and is now in reconstruction, Russia has finally accepted and is even helping in that reconstruction. Meanwhile, talks in the Gaza Strip have been going on for centuries and seem to be heading towards peace. The world's population has realized that planet Earth needs help, pollutes less and we can already see a cooler environment.
