Simple, but happy.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

The strengthening of European democracy and safety
In an ideal 2040 world, there would have been massive political and governmental reforms in Russia and Belarus, with the fall of their current dictatorial regimes, likely dissolution of these states into multiple independent countries and the possibility of peace in Europe without the current threat to Eastern Europe sovereignty.

Europe and local
I would like to see rural and peripheral areas developed especially in Ireland. I would like to see public transport developed so we are less reliant on cars. I would like to be able to hop on a train and visit every part of the country. I would like to see safer communities across Europe, in towns and cities. Gang crime should not be tolerated. I want to see a Europe not at the dim of outside presidents or Dictator's. Europe should be strong and independent and a force for good in the World.

jezelf zijn en liefde
I wish that gender and sexual preference were no longer an issue. That children are raised gender neutral and open minded and that no one is looked at for gender or preferences. That people are equal, but that there is room for differences in being and experience. That people can live their lives with their loved one(s) and be free to express their love for others. And I would like love and tolerance to be important drivers in society. More important than profit and the right of the strongest.
