Subject: Why 2020 Is a Special Year

Written By: temaichi on 02/16/20 at 10:06 pm

2020 is like 1616, 1717, 1818, and 1919, because the first two digits match the second two digits. This happens only once in a century, which is a hundred years.

Being alive in 2020 is special because that is the only year you are likely to live through where in the first two digits will match the second two digits. The next year that follows this pattern is 2121. A person alive now would have to be at least 101 to see that year. While that is possible, it is unlikely.

Every year is a special year when you are blessed with God's Gracious Gift of being alive.

Add this to the fact that February had the palindromic date of 02/02/2020.

"In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans

"In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find"

I don't consider 2020 a special year.

In the year 2020, when the man wears his mask
Like it's a difficult task, and leave it with dread
Tomorrow he might be found dead

2020 is a special year because of two 20s beside each other. And plus all the crazy things that happen make it extra special. I know it's strange but I've always thought 2020 would be an interesting year just by the way it sounds.

When I think of 2020 I think of perfect vision.
