What is the future? Does it
exist at all? Can we change it, or everyone has his or her own destiny? These
are philosophic questions which people always try to answer. Nevertheless,
every person thinks of the future. We always make plans, dream about something.
More often people dream about happiness and always connect this concept with
the concept of future. That is why, imagining better future I imagine all people
happy. But not everything is in our hands, because there are many factors that
can change our present and future forever.
To my mind, these factors are wars, illnesses and cultural decline of
society. Have you ever thought about it?
First of all, I want to share
my thoughts about the future of my country, because happiness of the individuals depends greatly
on the welfare of the country where they live. I am from Ukraine and this is a
beautiful country with ancient traditions and hospitable people. I love my
country and I think that it is the most beautiful place on the earth. Like all
people on our planet Ukrainians believe in better future, but nowadays it is
very difficult to make plans because of the war. People live in the present and
are afraid of the future. Many young men are dying in the East of Ukraine.
Children and women are left without fathers and husbands. That is why,
Ukrainian nation is degrading. Wars kill people physically and morally. People
of our country are in big sorrow nowadays. We learn from the news about dozens
of deaths every day, but the number of people who are lost is even greater.
There are a lot of refugees from Lugansk and Donezk, who have to leave their
houses where they wanted to live and to build their own future. To my mind,
wars KILL the FUTURE of countries, nations and individuals. So, we must stop
all wars in the world to give people hope for the future. We live in the
twenty-first century, in the epoch of highly developed technologies, but we
have forgotten about so simple thing as the value of people's lives. We had
enough wars in the twentieth century. We had enough blood and sufferings. Thus,
in this century I would like to see the world without wars, where people can
solve problems using dialogues not weapons.
Secondly, if to speak about
better future for all people on our planet, I should say that only healthy
people can be happy. That is why, I would like to see the doctors discovering
effective medicines for cancer and AIDS in this century. Of course, there are
some modern technologies that help to cure people with these illnesses, but not
all people can afford buying expensive medicines and paying for operations.
Many children are born with cancer and other incurable diseases. How can the
humanity stop these illnesses? In my opinion, governments must allocate much
money to help people who cannot afford expensive medical treatment. Moreover,
all diseases are caused by pollution of the environment. We must take care of
our planet and then we will not face new viruses and diseases. All people should help each other. We must
not be indifferent, because indifference, to my mind, is the reason of many
problems. The twenty-first century must be the century when people will stop
investing money to the development of new weapons and will start investing
money to the development of the medicine and protection of the environment.
Thirdly, in the future I
see our generation not only technically developed and healthy, but also highly
intelligent. One of the problems of our century is people’s cultural decline. What
does it mean to be highly intelligent? It means to be clever, have own opinion
and point of view, be independent and competent. Unfortunately, silliness
flourishes in our society. To be intelligent is not in trend nowadays. People
forget about their moral development and have limited intelligence. Many people
think that reading books and self-development are not important nowadays. The
books contain the wisdom of the people. People should read books to be
competent and literate. But, unfortunately, the erudition is irrelevant today.
So, in my opinion, our society must be changed. People should develop
themselves not only physically, but also morally. Many science-fiction authors
have predicted cultural decline of the society in their masterpieces. Ray Douglas Bradbury, an American science fiction and
fantasy writer, is one of them. He is best known for his novel “Fahrenheit
451” which he wrote in 1953. In this novel the author depicted
the society without moral values. The books were outlawed and “firemen” burnt
all books, which they found. Together with the books people lost the wisdom of
ancestors. People forgot about their past and they lost their future. It is
easier to control people who do not have their own point of view and who are
silly. That is why, in this century I would like to see highly intelligent and
literate people.
To sum it up, I should
say that thinking about future people often dream about space ships, portals,
highly developed technique. But all these modern technologies will not make
them happy. To my mind, people will be happy if they are healthy, intelligent
and if they find the way to prevent wars in our world. In this century I would
like to see all children in our planet laughing and people smiling every day. I
would like to hear only good news about the life of people all over the world.
I would like to see all people happy and healthy. This is my dream. But I know
that sometimes when you believe in your dreams they may come true. I like the
words of Ray Bradbury: “I do not try to describe the future. I try to prevent
it”. I agree with him, because only we can change our life and future. Fate of
future depends on us and our deals. We must live every day as the last day of
our life. To my mind, every person in our world must be happy. We must not
think about past, because it has already gone, certainly, we should think about
the future but it has not happened yet. That is why, foremost we must live in
present! Are you with me?
