I’m someone who suffers from a big deal of anxiety, so I’ve never had a particular obsession for the future in particular, and even though I like day dreaming I tend to think over past times... but since I need to take the challenge I’d say I would like to explore Latinamerica, particularly Chile in some 36 years from now. This year I turned 36 and for that I would like to see the country by the time I double my age.
Today I learnt through social media that the President of the Constitutional Convention is a woman and also Mapuche, and guess what! She’s also a Language Teacher colleague. And now having witnessed that historic moment - I need to recognize, I never, either as a teen, a college student or even in recent years foresaw a Mapuche woman becoming a leader worldwide! so to me this is just marvellous! - I believe the future will be SO different!
I think things will definitely be different. I don't think there’ll be women or men, I think there’ll be just people, different shapes, different colours but nothing that may be strictly associated with either masculinity or femininity.
I think there won’t be much pollution nor consumerism, I wish there are no more wars within this territory in particular the wars fought against vernacular cultures, I do hope there won’t be more silly discrimination nor abuse against women or the queer community and I certainly believe there will be only green landscapes because people, will hopefully have understood that the Ñuke Mapu (mapuche concept to talk about “Mother-Nature" in its deepest sense) is the temple where we live.
I will be 72 by then so I guess I will definitely like to stay in this utopian world I like to think about. If the country changes towards that direction I will certainly like to spend my last years in an environment who respects everybody and above all, mother nature.
I hope that your thoughts come true in a couple of years, or at least, in the future (2050). In this way, the diferent manners of discrimination will be gone
ResponderEliminarIt would be so wonderful if everything you dream about and mention in this post came true.
ResponderEliminar*Just for fun* In the future you can't say "mother" nature if there is no feminity nor masculinity i think
ResponderEliminarI think a Chile like this would be incredible, I hope we get to that
ResponderEliminarI am very happy that there are people who still dream of a future for everyone equally.
ResponderEliminarGreat things are certainly happening, I hope everything you are thinking comes true, although it seems very optimistic.
ResponderEliminarIt would be really great if the future was that incredible, but honestly, I am pessimistic about it, but I think that part of what you believe will really come true, I also think that the future will be very different, and for the better
ResponderEliminarI also think it is wonderful that an indigenous woman will be elected president of the constituent convention.
ResponderEliminarI would also like to stay in a world like the one you describe
ResponderEliminarI really like his utopian future, and I like to believe that it will be like that at some point, even if it takes many years.
ResponderEliminarIt is a good idea to travel to the near future to see if the current problems that exist in Chile today have changed or not
