The events of the past months have shattered our illusion of control and humbled pride. Have they also revealed something of value in our humanity which we were neglecting? And, as Stephanie Zacharek asked in her article in the special issue of Time dedicated to the year 2020, "After a year of so many changes, will we change radically too? We learned a lot in 2020–but what, exactly, did we learn?"
