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?

Europa Regresa
The future in 2040 I would like to see marked by a return to traditional values and a European economy at the forefront and not lagging behind as it is today. The Europe of 2040 I would like to see united in its liberal and democratic values, but aware of external threats such as political Islam and the threat of immigration with no interest in integrating into these European values. In 2040 Europe should have made a strong bet on increasing birth rates of the native/indigenous population to reverse the demographic winter and, coupled with that, a variety of housing access policies to make it easier for families to live in some economic comfort. Europe in 2040 should have opted for deregulation, the end of climate policies that prevent us from competing with other countries in the world and for economic liberalism and the reduction of states.

Malta - Kif Kienet imma b'differenza
I lived in a country where corruption ruled over basic human decency; the economy was always put first and not in a responsible manner. The rest of the world was also losing it's mind; I questioned whether my children would ever live in the country I grew up in, or whether I'd have to find a place where the environment was given priority (I hoped there'd be a few left). I'm glad to say that change occured. The generations that came called out all the corrupt individuals governing our country, and gave the boot. The focused on preserving that natural wonders of the islands trying to regain it's former glory; making up for the atrocities the ones before us allowed. We are no longer over-populated and ill from the chemicals that filled out bodies because of our polluted air and water. Building restrictions were imposed. We've been using technology in the way it was meant to; improving our quality of life. All my worries and prayers have been answered. And I continue to pray that things will never be the way they once were.

Ro og tillid til hinanden
I would really like my future and that of my children and grandchildren to look like this. That you can still have a safety net in the state. That you can be educated, get jobs, go to school, participate in studies and hospitals and the elderly and disabled are treated in a dignified human way. That doesn't mean you can't develop and take care of the climate and incorporate new ideas and thoughts. But you have to cherish the community, the community we have created together for generations, between nations. Otherwise, things will go wrong, and unfortunately we see that happening now. It creates a concern for everyone about the future.

Ja z moją małżonką za 15 lat
I just turned 85 years old. I have already lived to see two great-grandchildren. They live together with my older son and granddaughter in Warsaw. I continue to live in the village where my sons were born, where they went to elementary and high school. My wife and I live together in our own apartment, near the Piast Castle right by the Oder River. Our health is good, we are fit, we are doing quite well. Despite my age, I still move around by car. We go shopping, to church for Sunday mass and to the nearby medical clinic. I still read a lot, and worthwhile items are delivered straight to our house by the lady from the neighborhood library. Every Sunday our younger son, who lives in Opole, visits us. It is good that technology has advanced so much that now there are such phones that are equipped with modern applications that watch over our health, that we can talk to loved ones and see each other. For the past 5 years, a family from Pakistan has been living in the apartment opposite us, and Egyptians live below us. We have already gotten used to them, they are nice and very helpful.
