This has made me realise that our humble existence is an underappreciated facility.
While coping with a sudden disruption in commercial activity leading to a brief spell of global socialism, we saw hijacked, outsourced and sponsored protests fuelled by social divisions and insecurities.
It made me realise the incompetence of reward-oriented work.
From the yogic perspective (सुख-दुःखे समे कृत्वा), this was certainly an educational year but was devoid of satisfaction.
I learnt a lot about myself and my place in this world, especially about my strengths and my vulnerabilities, during this introspective year.
This year has truly shaken our foundations and I hope that the wisdom of 2020 reforms our civilization.
