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?

Eterno optimismo
On this day in 2040, life is going well. The world is now very different, the green economy has created jobs and solved Europe's unemployment problem. The environment, ecosystems and wildlife thrive in communion with a peaceful society. Nations and peoples live in harmony and mutual respect, where differences are celebrated, cultures equally valued and appreciated. A truly global and inclusive world, where minorities are represented and respected.

2040 in a year when sustainability marries the environment. A 2040 without dirty energy or the existence of fossil fuels. The year in which the planet breathes only green energy. We will also see the oceans contributing to the production of green energy, as well as the oceans being completely clean of contamination.

Um futuro risonho
I would like to live in a sustainable future, where the hydrogen car was the main means of transportation, where diesel and petrol cars were banned as means of transportation. I'd like to see a future where everyone recycled. Furthermore, I would like to live in a future where an altruistic policy of sharing the gains with the people governs Europe. Whether I was a socialist, a communist or even an anarchist, I would like to see that in the future, although in different areas, we would all work towards the same goal and we would all share the gains fairly (everyone would receive more or less the same, but of course some more demanding areas could receive a little more and it would not only be the difficulty but also the need - someone with many difficulties, with disabilities who, by virtue of their condition, made a huge effort to be productive for society deserved to receive more). That was the future I wanted.

um mundo melhor
I wish that by then there would be no so-called third world countries and that there would be no more hunger and misery in those same countries, that all human beings would have a home, work and food, that there would be the same kind of opportunities for all of us, improving the quality of life worldwide. then we would be a much happier and more united people, because I hope that in that future there will no longer be old people living on the streets and children dying of hunger and malnutrition.
