You can promise me a future.

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

That's right, I was able to buy an apartment I like and love for a reasonable price, which makes me live without anxiety about paying. My education has given me a great job with good pay close to my home, I pay as little tax as possible as the owner of an independent beauty salon, and I run my salon with ease. I no longer pay exorbitant prices in the shop as I did in the past, I pay what is fair because the prices are fair. A few times a year I take a good holiday wherever I want, because my honest profit allows me to do so. I enjoy life without worrying whether I will have money to live on tomorrow and I look forward to life with my loved ones.

In 2040, the world looks like a place where freedom and individual choice are at the center. People have greater control over their own lives and decisions, and society is based on a market economy where competition and entrepreneurship flourish. Technology and innovation drive growth, and people have access to a wide range of opportunities for personal development and prosperity. Religious influences are less evident, and societal norms are more secular, with greater emphasis on science and rational thinking. The role of religion in political decisions and public institutions has diminished, and people are free to follow their own spiritual paths without feeling constrained by tradition or dogma. In this future, people live in a world that is more diverse, open and driven by personal freedom and economic liberty.

The year is 2040. I can't believe everything has changed so much. When I was young in 2025, there were no flying cars. Back then, they were only fuel-powered and very few were electric. And most importantly. Back then, people were more offended than they are today. Today they are happier, freer and have more time. They only work 5 hours at work and then spend time with loved ones. We could not afford that then. 2050 is a very nice year, more economical, more relaxed and people are smiling, they are happy.
