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?

Thriving at life and work
I imagine a world where kids would freely play on the street, full of energy in clean nature. Smiling, laughing, being free. The nature is full of color, air is clean, birds are singing. Parents work with energy, enjoy their work. They have enough free time to play with kids. There is no war. This is a world of social justice. Equal rights for all. The world full of opportunities... What has changed? People have changed. There are less exhausted, burned out, sick... Climate has changed (the air is clean, there are no CO2 emotions caused by humans. Biodiversity is huge.

Simple, but happy.
After almost two decades of wars, climate crisis, pandemic and economic crisis, there will be new arising of hope and togetherness. Society will be changed deeply: new forms of community, more co-living, transformed family structures, less urban agglomerates, back to a somewhat simpler but happier life. There will be more sharing of goods, spaces and "belongings" instead of consumerisms and individualism. There. will be a stronger connection, a re-connecting to core values and the sense to work and live not for economic growth, but emotional and spiritual growth. It will no longer be a narrative of "giving up" something but go "gaining" new things, when talking about how less is more... Changing the way how we live in communities impacts how we shape society on a political, ethical, societal level. Change comes from below.
