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

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.

Freundlichkeit
I wish that people would treat each other more kindly again in the future. People should no longer just be selfish, because basically we're all in the same boat. I wish people would be more human and helpful again. Children should be brought up better again. Decency, politeness and above all consideration should become much more important again. The world as it is right now is too unfriendly, cold and aggressive. Today, people hardly dare to go outside in broad daylight, let alone in the evening.

visions
Today's cities are more evenly populated. They are made up mainly of small, almost self-sufficient buildings, which produce their own heating and cooling thanks to thermal paints and vegetation covering roofs and walls. Connected, everything can be done by thought... opening, heating, ordering... housework is done autonomously by specialized robots. We don't meet much, since we go out less and virtual contact makes us almost present, thanks to 3D holograms. Human beings are more inward-looking, no longer travelling to meet or work.

un monde sans problèmes
Firstly, to have leaders who are in touch with everyday life, and who are therefore paid the same as the majority of citizens, which would show how the majority of people live. Decisions would then be taken on the basis of real life, not on the basis of assumptions made by people who are disconnected from it. Protecting others and our resources, helping everyone according to their needs. The participation of all in the common effort. In the event of incivilities, misdemeanors or worse, crimes or misdemeanors, firm justice without fail and no laxity! Respect for traditions, for the past, which must serve as a positive example to avoid repeating past mistakes and to develop what has been positive.Will the dream ever become reality????
