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.

Nachhaltiges und zukunftsfittes Europa
I would like Europe to be independent in contrast to China India USA Russia, to be able to protect and defend itself and to have enough raw materials, to be able to live peacefully together where people can contribute and realize themselves, to be able to afford and build something.

It doesn't hurt to dream
It's 2040 and I'm 74 years old. I'm still strong and healthy, thanks to my exercise routine and new technologies (vaccines, vitamins, and procedures). I still work as a lecturer and consultant for companies and organizations. Europe is increasingly rich and diverse, with many immigrants from different cultures. Languages
