The sharing of the cake

Dear future me,
Our world of 2023 must seem very strange to you from your point of view in 2054. You live in a society where equality is the primary value of humanity. Land assets are now shared fairly among all. The limited resources of nature are finally managed globally to ensure their sustainability.
You must look at us with respect and gratitude for mobilizing us en masse to change our societies and obtain international cooperation that ensures sustainable well-being for humanity.
Of course the richest had to accept to reduce their lifestyle, the transition was painful for all of us who were used to accumulating material goods. But many inspired men and women were able to animate and accompany this revolutionary movement. Thank them.
I wish you to keep in mind how much your egalitarian society has required sacrifices. Fight to keep it!

La simplicité et le respect en 2040
In 2040, life is peaceful in Europe, everyone smiles, there is no aggression in any country. If there are problems between people, there will be people who will be responsible for resolving problems amicably, and everything will be simple. There will be freedom of expression, respect for everyone's ideas.

Natuur
I wish by then there would be more nature. That it is forbidden to lay front gardens in stones, that people who have a house and garden should provide more greenery. That a forest, a park is within walking or cycling distance. That the car is more banded from the cities, but can still get a place on the outskirts of the city. That there are so free buses or cheap public transport that runs to the city. So that people also seek more connection with nature, go for a walk and only have the benefits of nature.

Une France aux français
Laws have changed and hardened. Not all people born in France are automatically French. They take the nationality of their great-grandparents, and also all the descendants, which reduces the population of foreigners and let the French live in their country quietly and without fear, or to be raped, robbed or assaulted. Life would be more peaceful, the streets would become clean again, the people polite. All acts of incivility are punished, such as coughing without putting your hand, or throwing waste on the floor, buying in bulk or bringing back containers, which would reduce waste.

Eine gerechte Zukunft für den geschundenen Planeten Erde
There are no more nation states. A world government controls the most important subject areas for every human being equally, without prejudicing or discriminating against any area, any continent, any religion. No one in the world has to go hungry or worse: Suffering from thirst. In every country there are countless centers where people have access to the knowledge of humanity, in the form of books, images, sounds, music, films, files and and and. An intelligent system of computers, data centers, public offices, etc. pp. ensures that the knowledge just described is not distorted, distorted or even destroyed. Many diseases that still plague humanity at present (2025) have either been "exterminated" or reduced to a minimum. The rights of ethnic minorities are not suppressed. It is possible to travel virtually, not only to all desired areas on this earth, but also back in time. The energy supply is largely managed by solar energy, fossil materials or nuclear fuels are only used in exceptional cases or for the purpose of historical research
