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?

Um mundo melhor
The future I would like to see is one in which there are no daily reports of wars, robberies and assaults On the other hand, it would also be interesting if leaders were concerned about climate change. It's frightening that today there are hardly any seasons, in January it's incomprehensible that there are so many mild days and no rain.

Future in 2040
By 2040, I hope to see a future where mental health is universally prioritized and integrated into everyday life. In this world, mental health care is as accessible and normalized as physical health care. Schools, workplaces, and communities are equipped with resources to support emotional well-being, from therapy options to mindfulness programs and stress-reduction techniques. There’s a global shift away from stigma, with open conversations about mental health happening without judgment. Technological advancements, like AI-driven therapy and virtual reality-based treatments, complement traditional methods, ensuring everyone has access to personalized care. Healthcare systems are proactive rather than reactive, focusing on prevention and early intervention. Mental health is seen as a fundamental human right, with governments and organizations working together to eliminate disparities in care, especially in underserved communities. In this future, people live in environments that foster emotional balance, connection, and resilience, promoting healthier, happier societies.

Green Horizon: A Sustainable Future for All
In 2040, I would like to see a future where sustainable energy is the norm, and climate change has been significantly mitigated. In this vision, the world has transitioned to a fully renewable energy grid, powered by solar, wind, hydro, and advanced energy storage systems. Cities are smart and green, with vertical gardens, urban forests, and efficient public transportation systems that are entirely electric and autonomous. Personal vehicles are rare, as most people rely on shared, on-demand electric transport services or ride bicycles. Global cooperation on environmental issues has become the norm, with countries collaborating to protect biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and promote sustainable agriculture. Advances in technology, like carbon capture and sustainable materials, have reversed much of the environmental damage caused by previous centuries. Individuals live more harmoniously with nature, and sustainability is embedded in every aspect of life—from the products we use to the way we build our communities. Education focuses heavily on environmental stewardship, ensuring that future generations continue to value and protect the planet. This future is one where humanity thrives not at the expense of the Earth, but in balance with it.

the good life
I would very much like for the future to bring us all more financial stability and most of all, love, it is very important we learn to stop hating each other, weather for out religion, race, or nationality. I also hope we learn to live amongst technology and not let it harm us anymore. I also hope the education system is reformed and no longer hurts children.
