"arbitrary" defined as "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system". Since a year is one revolution around the sun, our source of energy, it doesn't seem arbitrary at all.
Between the rotations of the earth (day/night), revolutions around the sun, changing of the seasons, phases of the moon, we basically live in a clock.
