Retour sur la logique des choses

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I wake up one morning in the new year, 2040.
Like any other morning, I'm getting ready for an ordinary day.
Today, it's safe to walk the streets. Delinquency shaves the walls, since repression is harsh but fair, a little like in the Middle Ages, but effective (caning, reopening of prisons). Controlled immigration and the deportation of delinquents have contributed to all this.
Men have realized that women can do as well as, if not better than, them. That said, parity and quotas are a thing of the past - we live in a world of meritocracy.
Women are breathing a sigh of relief, and rapists and sex offenders are being severely punished. They have also understood that if they want to please, they have to accept being looked at, admired and approached by other people of all genders. In fact, there are now only 2, masculine or feminine. Non-binary people, those who feel like a flowerpot every 4 mornings..., are followed up for shrink failure.
Society has become fairer, and freeloaders no longer exist. People who live on assistance without ever working are no longer entitled to it. All work deserves a salary, so no work = no income or benefits.
Social security is on the mend, since we've stopped treating all the world's misery.
Young people are better educated, thanks to ever more innovative new technologies, but above all thanks to a culture of effort and hard work.
But above all, we've stopped doing anything that didn't make sense. For example, to import foreign products, they have to meet the same production standards. This encourages "local consumption", reduces carbon impact, and reinvigorates agriculture. Repair shops are to be found just about everywhere: no more systematic replacement, today we repair, just like in my youth. Containers are being reused, thanks to the return of the glass bottle deposit scheme.
Tourism has taken a knock, which seems normal to me, but it came late. If you want to preserve places, you have to protect them from man.
Apart from that, and it's not bad, I'm happy to have a quality of life like this, better purchasing power, better health, security, justice, well thought-out decisions but above all logic.
So, although this future makes me dream, I'm not going to be impatient to get there because I'll be 15 years older :-/

Raj na zemi
People have learnt from the past and have started to be respectful, nice to each other, to help each other, not to cheat. They appreciate nature and help it, develop it. There are fewer cars on the streets. They recycle and have stopped building new buildings - they repair or demolish on top of the old ones. The government cares about the citizens and tries to make them live well,they don't exalt themselves over them, their salaries are the same as the people. They solve problems by conversation without insults, they set an example for the people. Social networks are only for communication between loved ones and for inspiration at work, no earning, ads or influencers.

Bez Putina a Green Dealu máme větší šanci
The situation in Europe from a security point of view has improved - there is a strong "European" army capable of deterring Russia from carrying out further outbursts. Russia is no longer ruled by Putin or his political cronies, and Siberia has separated from Russia as a separate state entity. Europe - after the breakup of the European Union, the influence of Islam in its western states has intensified - there are representatives of Islamist political parties in its parliaments and there is increasing pressure to declare caliphates in individual countries. In the eastern countries, more democratic conditions of governance have been maintained, but the main problem here is not Islamism but the tendency towards an absolutist form of government. Following the revocation of Green Deal policies, the Czech Republic is facing a number of lawsuits from solar operators. The resulting Ukrainian political party is growing in influence.

Sme generácia, ktorá prestala myslieť na seba.
In 2040, people are not starving, there is a lack of finance, and the food in the shops is not like that of millionaires. Children play in parks, they don't deal with phones, wifi or social networks. Old people walk happily in the streets because they know the state is not robbing them of their pensions. Cancer will disappear from the world, a cure has been found. Humanity is building again but not for the benefit of itself but for the benefit of the earth. A million eco-friendly stations are built. Electricity in houses is free because the largest solar field has been built. Warehouses have been abolished. Waste has been separated and reused. We live in a year when the best breathing is outdoors. When the sun does not cause allergies. When natural disasters have ceased. There is no tornado, there is no flood. And the economy is thriving, we have plenty of water and plenty of sunshine. Every year it gets better and better. We don't have sun scorched fields and we don't have swamps from soils. We are a generation that has stopped thinking about ourselves, we are a generation that has started thinking about the land. We are the best thing since 1900. Maybe that kind of simple thinking has helped us. When we connected the past with the future, so that life would be in symbiosis. So that we could give and take without minus losses. And that's how I would end it. It's a better future not only for people but for the earth.
