The Envisioned World I Want For My
Children: E.F.
What
are your hopes for the future of our society?
My hopes for the future
society? That’s a really complex question, because now on my mind there are a
lot of things that I hope they could become a reality, that I hope we can achieve now in
order that our children and future generations might have a better quality of life.
But before I start telling you what I hope for the wellbeing of our future
society, first we need to have for clear what HOPE is, so Aristotle said, “Hope is
the dream of the waking man.”. Hope is the unshakeable belief that no matter
how bad our circumstances, somehow, someway, everything will turn out
alright or even good for us in the end.
Someone once said, “We can live a few
weeks without food; a few days without water and a few minutes without air, but
we cannot last a single second without hope.” and that’s a true, because having
hope allows us to envision the ways we can make that dream happen.
The situation nowadays
regarding to natural resources isn’t the best, dealing with worldwide
My hopes for Society are
very simple, and if we achieve one, the other ones are yet to come. First one,
natural resources be there for our future children in order that the air that
they breathe, the water that they drink and the fruits and vegetables that they
eat, could be the best ones, the type of resources that they deserve.
Second, our leaders, our
governors get to an agreement in order that the problems about worldwide peace
end once for all, a nation's priority should be the well-being of the population
that lives in there, and by creating conflicts and wars that the only thing that
bring are casualties, fear, anxiety, and economical problems to the country, so by
fixing this we can have a better quality of life where people might not be afraid
of going out from their houses and be proud of been citizens of their countries.
The third and last but not
least, is the one that talks about education, for me that’s the most important
thing, that’s the part of the life of a human where you need to make a lot of efforts because by having a really
good education you can be anything and anyone you want, you would have the
knowledge for transform the whole world and that's what we are looking for here, to
change the planet Earth by transforming the point of view of the children, by
transforming the quality of education they are having in order that they can be
important people, that care about their future, their society, and make changes
in benefit of the world.
If we achieve one of them, the others would be coming easily, by having education people would know how to
use with responsibility the natural resources, remembering that the majority of international
problems are caused by the irresponsibility or mismanagement of the natural resources or the
lack of used resources each country has. Everything has a solution, we
just need to have a good will and the disposition for making that future where
there are less conflicts than now, where there is no ignorance, where there is no
risk of dying because there would be no nature.
That’s the kind of world I
want for my children, that's the kind of future I hope they live in, that's the
kind of future I am working to get, and I firmly believe that if everyone had
this dream, and worked hard to get it, it could be possible, so I have those
hopes for the future of our society, and I want them to come true.
