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?

Laiminga ir ori senatvė
I hope that in 20 years' time, the lonely elderly will be taken care of. They will not live alone, they will not prevent their children and grandchildren from living a normal life and working. Boarding schools will be set up according to the municipality they live in, where they will be cared for with respect and dignity. They will not have to wait for years to be placed in foster care.They will be able to spend the remaining years of their lives creatively and meaningfully. The staff will be kind, understanding and will look after three or four seniors, not ten, so that they can talk to them and understand them.

Rettung in letzter Sekunde
A jolt went through the whole continent when people finally realized in 2025 that they had to act, as politics would not save the planet. The whole consumer behavior suddenly changed, eating habits were changed. Flights and cruises no longer exist. It was a close call back then, but we got our act together.

Lietuva - ten kur gyventi gera
2040 in Lithuania. People ride silent hydrogen-powered public buses and electric bikes on the streets of Vilnius. On Laisvės Avenue in Kaunas, light trees - artificial plants that illuminate the surroundings at night while generating energy - have taken the place of the usual lanterns. Lithuania has become a global leader in green technology following the 2030 decision to introduce a complete switch to renewable energy sources. Agroecological farms in rural areas not only provide food for the country but also protect biodiversity. People's lives have become closely linked to nature: forests have been expanded, rivers have been cleaned up and traditional wooden houses have been combined with modern technology. Today, Lithuanians are celebrating - a global AI conference is taking place in Vilnius to discuss the latest solutions to reduce global inequalities. Lithuania, once struggling to survive, is now setting global standards in sustainability and technological progress.
