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?

La vida en verde
A world without pollution, with respect for animals, a green world, a more humane and less technological world, a place where plants and animals live together with people in peace, where animals are revered and we can all live in harmony, without using them as resources.

Globalna metamorfoza Europy i planety Ziemia.
I recall what fears accompanied me and my family in the year 2025. At that time, a time of war at Poland's borders, armaments, uncertainty about the future. But I believed then that such people as the Kremlin dictator and his ilk would pass away and the citizens of the free world would not allow such depraved and dangerous people to come to the fore in the future. And so it happened. Those who violated the right to life in 2022 passed away in disgrace and a time of stability came. It was then possible to focus humanity's attention on nutritional well-being, nature conservation and energy drawn from nature. Now chimneys don't smoke like they did in the second decade of the century, we have stopped glaciers and the fear of the effects of global warming is gone forever. Looking back now, Europe in the third and fourth decades of the 21st century achieved the most in the race for the welfare of the planet. Others lagged slightly behind but the global pressure was so great that the challenges facing humanity were downplayed. Our technological progress, the successful penetration of planets which at the time in 2025 was a dream and a difficult challenge has become a reality. I have the satisfaction that our planet has cleared the specter of fear about the uncertainty of tomorrow. I have the satisfaction that we are comfortable in sustainable well-being. I have the satisfaction that humanity has learned the right lessons from the failures of that time.

Le bien êrte a tous
the future is for all people to have the same rights: the right to housing, the right to healthcare, the right to work for a decent wage, to be independent, to live their lives as they choose, with the values they have chosen. A political world focused on people, their security, not their own profit,

Vive no planifiques tanto
The past cannot be changed, and the future is yet to come, so worry about living today, it is called the present for a reason, because it is a gift. I don't know what the future will be like, I suppose it will be very technological, what worries me the most is if there will be anything human left in it.
