You can promise me a future.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Dear educators, I have been thinking.
I don't think we should be trained into money making and obeying people

Instead
I think I should make homes for the insects I see hiding in the bushes
I think I should make a warm bath for my guardian
I think I should not be as afraid of dancing with the one I love
I think I should dare to pick a berry from a bush and eat it.

Let me not forget about the ruthless beauty of our existence
Teach me how to love it
How to survive

Curriculum creator, let us utilize our classrooms in the most healthy way possible
to let us slowly breath in and breathe out into a new, sustainable, generation
where both mine and Sarah’s, and Noa’s, and Mischa and Mohammed’s and Aisha’s belly can be full
So that we can play
And progress.
Exist

Curriculum creator, let us merge all documented knowledge to meet our basic needs in the most effective way possible
let me tell you what I need
and then maybe we could create a space within which we can survive
and thrive.

Let me care
And then perhaps
You can promise me a future.

this is a poem i have made about a potential future

I imagine that we are all very busy freeing nature from all the concrete. We are happy because there is finally security and peace all over the world. The bad people are gone and we can enjoy the good air and nature in all its splendor. We will cook and eat together, nobody is envious of anyone else. Everyone is happy with what they have, because they have everything they need to live. The waters are no longer polluted and no one is cruel to animals or uses them as test subjects. We all have only one faith and only one God, to whom we are grateful for everything he gives us every day. We are getting healthier and fitter every day and we can travel the world without money and see and experience everything that we previously only knew from books or movies. We will be welcome everywhere and get along with everyone. There will be no more stress or entrepreneurs who want to get richer and richer. Because no money in the world can buy life.

Between now and 2050 my life could be transformed in extraordinary ways. I imagine reaching personal and professional milestones that seem far away today. I might change careers, following a passion I have always kept hidden, or perhaps start a project that inspires others. My relationships will grow and change: new friendships, deep loves, perhaps a family that will enrich my days. Travel may take me to faraway places, opening me to different cultures and perspectives. Revolutionary technologies will affect my daily life, simplifying current challenges and offering me unimaginable opportunities. I know there will be obstacles, but every difficulty will make me stronger and wiser. Looking back in 2050, I may smile, acknowledging how much I have grown and how the path, with all its unexpected turns, has made my life unique and extraordinary.

Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen
Wie sieht das gesellschaftliche Leben in 2040 aus? Ich plädiere für ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen für jede Bürgerin und jeden Bürger von Geburt bis Tod. Wenn jeder 1.000 € bekommen würde, dann hätte eine Familie mit 2 Kinder, gesamt 4 Personen, ausreichend Geld für einen angenehmen Lebensunterhalt. Halbtagsbeschäftigungen und Hobbys in der freien Zeit haben genügend Raum. Finanzieren kann man das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen durch Wegfall von Zuwendungen wie Wohngeld, Kindergeld, Unterstützungen aller Art. Es gibt dann sicher weniger Krankenstand, Zeit für Weiterbildung, Zeit mit den Kindern, Zeit für Sport und Hobbies und bestimmt weniger Neid unter den BürgerInnen.

Povratak u prošlosr
Budućnost kakvu ja želim u 2040 je da bude zapravo naša prošlost. Naime, u današnje vrijeme svi smo okruženi tehnologijom, a manje društvenim aspektom. Moja bidućnost predstavlja povratak čovjeka u prirodu, čovjeka koji je pravo društveno biće,ulice pune mladih kojima je društvo i država omogućila da kroz različite projekte sudjeluju u društvenom radu i razvijaju svoju kreativnost. Društco koje će učiti najmlađe pravim vrijednostima i gdje će roditeljski odgoj biti takav da će djecu naučiti koje su prave vrijednosti
