Is Doomsday Coming?

The people of the world have been perplexed by
Russia's reckless invasion of Ukraine for more than a year. Because of the
horrible attacks and the indiscriminate bombardments of Ukrainian territory,
most of the Ukrainian infrastructural facilities, residential facilities, and
social welfare facilities have been destroyed which has pushed more than 8
million civilians to leave their home country as refugees.

It is difficult for an outsider to know the exact
reason why Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to wage a war against
Ukraine.

What were President Putin's grounds
for waging the war? We must emphasize the saying that goes, "No one has
the right to ruin other people’s lives" as everyone on this planet was
born to pursue freedom and happiness. Nonetheless, war, bloodshed,
and chaos are being continued on the earth. Whenever I encounter horrible
man-made disasters covered by the world media, I simply become suspicious if
the Creator does exist. If so, why does the absolute permit such brutal
behavior?

What is worse, we have recently seen
tragic scenes caused by the strongest-ever earthquake in Turkey. Its tragedy is
really beyond expression. As of February 26, 2023, news reports reveal that the
total number of victims in Turkey and Syria is more than 50,000 casualties.
However, the number of bodies that might have been buried under the rubble is
still unknown. This is one of the most threatening disasters.

Historically, Turkey has been South
Korea’s brother country since 1950 as Turkey participated in the Korean War by
deploying a large number of troops. Therefore, South Koreans have always been
grateful to Turkey for its blood-hardened support.

Of course, I hope not, but because
natural disasters and man-made catastrophes are frequently occurring on this
earth, it forces many to worry as if doomsday were soon coming.

Anyway, I do hope the war between
Russia and Ukraine will end as quickly as humanly possible, and wish our
brother country rapid rehabilitation and stability.
