Zu schön um wahr zu sein?

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

We are in 2040, a March morning, just before my birthday. My son lives in our house with his wife and their son Maximilian. My husband and I are happy to have the kids near us. We are retired, well-secured, but in one situation or another glad to be able to fall back on the young. Our son now works nearby again and no longer has to commute to the neighboring country to find an adequate job and our daughter-in-law works for a lawyer in the law firm. Both follow the regular work and are happy to have found a good job.
Our grandson goes to secondary schools. He is a very talented boy without having to learn much. Just a little lazy in the homework. Otherwise, there is still a foreign family living in our house, who, since they share our garden, also helps with gardening. The contact is familiar and you help yourself wherever you can.
Our friends come to visit or we visit them, whatever a joyous event, almost degenerates into a festival for which all the inhabitants of the house come together.
Our country lives in peace and the roads have become safer again. Traffic is very well connected through the expansion of the road network and the expansion of bus and train lines and we can travel in all directions both by car and by bus and train.
Our country has its national pride back again, as is common in other countries, and we live in peace, with a healthy economy and a very good social democratic government at the top. The government's water head has been shrunk by half, the civil service abolished and taxes reduced. There is virtually no poverty in Germany and the minimum pension is paid without deductions. We have found each other again, may it remain so, that would be my wish.

I imagine that I am in Pula, alive and healthy and my family is healthy. As I currently have health problems, I imagine and wish that quality health protection is available to people at all times that it is free and of good quality. For everyone. I imagine that I live in a society where no disease is stigmatized and that society prioritises the elderly, the sick and the disabled. I imagine that as humans we have overcome greed, egoism and care for each other. And again that we have bedpmatous health, everyone has free medication, free dental services and that then mental hygiene will be a priority. Namely, everyone can do without shame and fear to go regularly to the psychologist for discussion and advice. Every nation has priority for the health of its inhabitants , both physically and mentally. For what kind of nation and civilization are we if the health service is not available to everyone and not to profit from someone's illness and powerlessness. Healthy people are the basis for a healthy society.

Sociālā afvērtība - brīvības bira
Freedom in social networks will allow to follow people's actions, promote responsibility both privately and for officials. We will also have acquired personal responsibility for action not only in reality, but also in social networks, and thus we will be able to communicate productively and interestingly. We will not seek hatred in disputes, but grains of understanding. We will have calmed down the race for material benefits - we will live more slowly, buy less but better quality items. We will be able to see within ourselves and around us the spark of humanity.

on est vraiment sur la mauvaise pente
For me 2050 will have to take up the most important points of the past, a slower life, less technology, less social control, more freedom, a true democracy and not that of today where those who have the most power have never been chosen by the people, a sovereign Belgium that can make its own choices while working with its neighbours, including our Russian friends. More contact between people in cafes and resting, in the cinema, and less life via screen. And in our plate especially keep the quality of our local craftsmen and not the m*** indstrielle transcheese. Let us also return to traditional values and let the woke of the left find themselves in their real place ... in the asylum because they are dangerous And especially not touch my real steack raised with grass by farmers who love their craft. You will have understood ... the very opposite of the desires of the globalists of the EU:-)

Zamišljam 2040. godinu kao svijet u kojem je klimatska kriza stavljena pod kontrolu, a obnovljivi izvori energije u potpunosti dominiraju globalnim energetskim sustavom. Odabrao bih temu čiste energije i održivog razvoja. Želio bih da do 2040. godine svijet bude vođen zelenim tehnologijama, gdje su solarne, vjetroelektrane, hidroenergija i napredne baterije standard, a fosilna goriva stvar prošlosti. Gradovi bi bili puni zelenih površina, zgrada s vertikalnim vrtovima i samoodrživih zajednica. Električni automobili, javni prijevoz na vodik ili baterije te pametna infrastruktura omogućili bi minimalnu emisiju CO₂. U ovoj budućnosti, ljudi bi živjeli u harmoniji s okolišem, reciklaža i ponovna upotreba materijala bili bi norma, a klimatske katastrofe smanjene na minimum. Globalna suradnja i razvoj novih tehnologija donijeli bi stabilnost i pravedniju raspodjelu resursa, čime bi se smanjilo siromaštvo i povećala kvaliteta života za sve. To je svijet kakvom težim – održiv, tehnološki napredan, ali prije svega human i u ravnoteži s prirodom.
