OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Fair world
I would like a better world without wars and poor countries. It is not fair that some people or regions in the world have a lot of things (money, food, energy, resources basically) and another ones have not got anything.

My little future (My little future)
My better future versión is this one. A world filled woth skyscrappers that allows many people live withoout taking up much space since earth will probably be overpopulated and with little area many people will be able to live. A future with flying cars that's eco-friendly and uses solar or another renewal energy as its main source of power. My future is filled with equality where the hassle ceiling doesn't exist anymore and us women have the same rights a wold woth the same educational system so everyone gets the same chances where health is priority and the Spanish health care system is not only in Spain but in the whole world, a place where overpackaging isn't an issue anymore because of strategies such as the pfand system, neither is recycling a problem because everyone cares about the planet. Moreover a place with solidarity and friendship beaceue of the quality of education. An issue that is important to me the issue of the climate change whcih is melting the poles this could have a huge impact in everyone's life's because of it huge cities could disappear; the island in which I live could disappear. I would love that this could stop however this depends on many factors and I think my prospect of a better future could help the cause. However non this will take place if don't take action because 2040 isn't that far way and us humans are the only ones who can save everything.

Connecting Europe (Conectar europa)
I would like to see improved transport connections, especially rail transport, by increasing frequencies, reducing travel times and including new journeys and destinations, especially as regards the rail connections of the Ppen nsule ib rica to the rest of Europe. At present, the train services connecting Espa to and Portugal and the rest of the EU’s PS are m ‘nimos’ or ‘pr’ null and void, and it is even impossible to travel by train between Lisbon and Madrid (when the distance is just 600 km), if CO2 emissions are to be reduced, we must strive to replace the aircraft with sustainable transport, and this is feasible if a serious investment is made in the train.

Freedom to be
Regarding 2040 I wish all European Citizens and, hopefully, every single human could happily live feeling free to be itself, despite its gender or sexual orientation. Over the past millenniums human history has unfortunately been a bloody story of domination between aristocrats and plebeians; masses of people and the outcast; royalty and commoners, slaves, and the other underclasses. In a few words, a story of discord, aggression, terror and transgression. This way, I dream on a future in which equality and the freedom to be will have a feasible and real meaning in this world. During my life journey I have seen lots of friends and relatives struggling about their sexual orientation, going a long way towards self-acceptance, and, as Mr. Luther King, I do have a dream. I have a dream that every teenager and adolescent exploring itself and its sexuality wouldn’t need to fight against stereotypes, prejudices, misconceptions or even his/her family and friends to reach acceptance because of been genuine, honest and truly sincere with itself and its relatives. I dream on people not needing to face mental health issues, and alienation feelings because of this. I dream with my friends not needing to face all the uncomfortable and aggressive situations they’ve faced and they still face because of not being heterosexual. I have a dream that a world conquered by respect and love to one another, of neighbor, can be reachable. I have a dream on freedom, liberty and justice. I have a dream, and hope on human kind.
