Dear apocalyptic Year 2020, thank you. You made me realize how much I live in a fragile world.

A 260-year-old book brings me some comfort. During the Age of Enlightenment, a French philosopher and writer named Voltaire (1694–1778) wrote a masterpiece called “Candide.” Voltaire is still accurate for you, dear 2020.

I write, so I don’t forget the fundamental principles of life. I believe we should make the most of the opportunity to be a human on Earth.
