Mafalda and the new year

It will soon be the new year and I know what we are all tempted to think and hope: that 2021 will be better than 2020. Well, not me. As I read once in a Mafalda comic strip, maybe the new year is hoping that people will be better. I haven't found the original one, but here is my favourite girl saying this very wise advise, that has stuck to me since I first read it as a child. Yes, some things, such as the current pandemic, are inevitable. But if people had been more careful, less selfish, some governments more responsible and less cowardly, things would have been better in 2020. So let's all try to be better for 2021.
