Selbstverständnis statt Wunschdenken

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want an open, humane Europe.

It should again be more about the people and not just talk loudly about economic crises and political misconduct. People should stand together and be cosmopolitan and helpful. No one should be afraid of political decisions. Everyone should pull together. Those who make the policy should be honest. In Dtl, for example, the reintroduction of the property tax could flush a large batch of money into the coffers. Those who already have a lot of assets should pay this tax, the money could be used to rehabilitate schools.

The climate problem should be made understandable for everyone and all possibilities should be discussed openly here as well. It is our nature of the world that we need to live. The trees clean our air - don't let it grow fast. They also cool our earth and provide shade. We should not continue to destroy nature, but also give it something back.

We should move away from fossil fuels, because once they are exhausted, important time for research on renewable energies is lost. Perhaps by 2040 we are already completely away from non-renewable energies. My hope is small, because there are only 15 years left.

I hope that all children have the same opportunities, no matter what social class they come from. They are our future and have a right to live in a healthy world.

Vivre en harmonie
It's 2040 and I'm 81 years old. My life has been full of sorrow but also joy. 2025 conflicts of all kinds in the 4 corners of the planet, violence, climate change ...... Happily, in a burst of intelligence and love, human beings have understood that the most important thing in LIFE is LOVE and EMPATHY. We live in a peaceful world where everyone is paid fairly, resources are preserved but above all distributed equally No conflict, no hatred, no discrimination, we live in PEACE and HARMONY. Science has made enormous progress and most diseases have been eradicated. I'm happy to see my children and grandchildren living in this new world!

Un monde bienveillant
It's 2040, and 10 years ago, elected representatives finally became aware of the problems that human beings bring to the planet. Everyone has worked, and continues to work, to make our presence less harmful to the planet, its flora and fauna and, by extension, to future generations. Another point of awareness reached: intolerance and discrimination. From now on, malicious acts based on discrimination of gender, sexual orientation, skin color, religion, culture or any other kind will be severely punished. Of course, this would not have been possible without an enormous overhaul of an inefficient and corrupt judicial system. We now have a world that wants to be fair, although there's still progress to be made, but the will is there whereas it wasn't 20 years ago. It's a world that has become predominantly benevolent and that has regained, and above all restored, hope in the future.

Utopia
I envision a future in which we live in harmonious coexistence with technology. Cities will be green and full of vertical gardens, while drones will relieve traffic congestion. People will travel in self-driving vehicles powered by renewable energy. Artificial intelligence will support everyday life, from work to leisure. Virtual reality will make it possible to visit faraway places without leaving home. In this future, everyone will have access to education and healthcare, which will significantly improve the quality of life. People will be more creative and engaged as they will have more time for personal projects and community activities. The future will not only be technologically advanced, but also more human and empathetic.

Changement de fonction du parlement européen
By 2040, Europe would need to establish secure borders to prevent the massive arrival of migrants, who are very costly for the countries they settle in. We also need to review and harmonize agricultural standards across Europe, since each country has different standards. We also need to standardize European VAT, and above all let each country's government run its own country, rather than Europe, which favors certain countries.
