It's summer 2040. I stand on top of a hill, the wild forest is behind me. The air is clean and easy to breathe, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Insects buzzing around me flying from flower to flower, swallows flying in the sky. Far away there is a blue lake, the water is clear and clean. I see a lone fisherman in the waters experiencing his nets. She and her family are having dinner with fresh fish today. On the right side of the lake there are grazing cows, which are allowed to keep their calves and are not taken away after birth. On the left is an eyeless forest. That's where I'm going with my dog. I'm going to stay in a forest where every wild animal gets to live in a species-typical way. There are no wars, no climate change, no famine. There is peace in the world, and so do I.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.

Chciała bym żyć swobodniej
I do not have much imagination, but I think that progress always brings something good and through Europe you will be able to cross the railway, get off in the cities and regions that I want to see and again continue the journey to the next place. The train will be modern and fast, and the journey will be a lot of pleasure. Every man will be able to afford such a journey. Perhaps air travel will also be available to everyone and what you will travel will be a matter of individual choice.Every person will be able to see the beautiful cities of , like Brussels or Paris, you will be able to see the Loire Valley and the surroundings of Lake Garda.This would be a great relaxation after work, which today requires a lot of dedication from people and takes more and more private time. In the pursuit of money, we leave small and large pleasures behind us and do not think about what we lose.

In the world of the future, people's kindness and cooperation are strengthened. Governments have taken many firm and undeniable decisions about future well-being, not all of which are for the benefit of the people (e.g. tax rises), but society is conscious and, once it is understood, rejoices at , that these decisions make life good, albeit financially more difficult. We are safe!

Spokoj i radość do końca życia
I hope that in 2040 I will still live, together with my family, in health, that then it will be easier, quieter, calmer.I would like to have peace in the world, so that the world will be more natural, as truly as it once was, and not burdened with some sick laws and absurdities.I would like there to be as few sick people as possible, so that all the diseases of the world will be cures , access to a doctor will be a pleasure and all the necessary tests a man would have done immediately and free of charge.I would like people to stop robbing the state, because then there would be a chance to somehow improve this world.Let all absurd laws that supposedly care about the environment disappear.Let the country be ruled by wise and good people.
