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?

A better future for a better world (Ένα καλύτερο μέλλον για ένα καλύτερο κόσμο)
I would like to change in the future the relationship between man and the environment, as I consider that now humans do not respect or love nature. I think it should protect and care for the mother’s nature. In addition, it would be ideal for all people to become the best day and love their fellow people and their nearby. Be altruistic and think about the general good and not just their personal interest.

My perfect world
The world is far from perfect and it will always be that way. I do not think much can change in an 18 year span. However, when I imagine a better world, the first thing that comes to my mind is a world of equality and care. A world where every person is cared for regardless his\her appearance, culture or status. A world where wealth is evenly distributed to every single person on the planet, so that everyone can follow their dreams and make them come true. A fair world, one full of happiness and joy. That would be my perfect world, my perfect future.

Fossil fuels are a menace to society. Let's switch to cleaner sources of energy
One of the most important changes I would like to see in the future has to do with our energy consumption and production. It is vital that we switch to renewable sources of energy soon, as its severely harmful to the environment. In fact, the Earth's fossil fuel reserves are running quite low (about 47 years' worth of oil remaining. Source: https://lisbdnet.com/how-much-oil-left-on-earth/). Establishing a reliable grid of solar panels/wind turbines/nuclear facilities across the planet may be the best thing we can do as a society, given the fact that our planet will not survive otherwise. Such a change will be beneficial not only in the planet-saving sense, but also in the quality-of-life sense. We can ensure that the next generations live in a world free of pollution, coexisting with the ecosystem - instead of destroying it.

Social justice, equality and education
Even though we cannot expect drastic changes to be made in the near future, we ought to be hopeful, as well as realistic. The differences I wish to see in the world, mainly have to do with social justice, equality and education. I wish to see the world become a safer place, embracing everyone regardless of their background; and that change can only come through proper nurturing and education.
