Earthquake Drawing

My heart goes out to the people of Turkey and Syria

This earthquake in Turkey and the surrounding region is so incredibly devastating. Some of the destruction and death is in war-torn Syria, where there is a refugee crisis and economic hardship.

As of this writing, the death count is 4300.

When there are these natural disasters, I wonder: why do we continue to fight wars when there is such pain already?

I know the question makes no sense.

It doesn’t make sense to have the dove of peace in the drawing, but I just decided to draw it.

Maybe it does make sense.
