장기화 되가는 일본의 재난 5주째: Strong Aftershock Rattles Japan and recovering endeavor

천재 지변 치고는 우리의 상상을 초월한 엄청난 참변을 보면서 인간의 나약함을 모두 느꼈다.  공들여 쌓아 놓은 것이 안전하고 오래 동안 그 과실을 즐길 수 있을 것이라고 여겨왔지만 실상은  재난의 위험에 항상 노출되어 있어 백척간두의 상태에 있다는 것을 깨닫게 되었다. 눈에 보이는 것을 위하여 온갖 공과 정성을 들이는 것이 실상은 공중누각과 같은 부질없는 헛된 것이다. 지진과 추나미에 새로운 재난으로 일본은 물론, 인근 한국 그리고 미국을 비롯한 전세계인이 우려하는 방사능 물질의 확산이 대기와 땅 그리고 바다로 확산되면서 일파 만파의 심각한 문제가 야기되고 있다.

일본은 눈에 보이는 피해만이 아니라 방사능의 위기로 인해 농산물, 수산물, 그리고 제조업과 특히 관광산업은 극심한 타격을 받을 것으로 보여 일본 경제는 재건이 아니라 쇠락과 몰락의 위기로 빠질 가능성마저 대두되고 있다. 세계 경제 제 3 대국이 전세계 경제에 미칠 영향도 무시할 수 없어 중동의 민주화로 인하여 고공 행진을 하는 유가까지 합하면 향후 각 나라의 경제 회복은 더뎌질뿐만 아니라 장기 침체로 허우적 거릴 가능성은 높아 가고 있다.

성경 말씀대로 썩어질 것을 위해서 심지 말고 영원한 것을 사모하며 그를 위해 노력을 경주할 때다. 두려운 마음으로 어려운 작금의 상황을 위해 기도할 때이다.
