If we reduce the population of the Earth to asmall town with 100 people and keep theproportions, it will look like this:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans
52 women
48 men
70 coloured-skins
30 caucasians
6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth
and all of them will be from the United States ofAmerica
80 would have bad living conditions
70 will be uneducated
50 will be underfed
1 would die
2 would be born
1 will have a computer1 (only one) will have higher education
If you look at the world from this point of view,you will see how there is a big need of solidarity, understanding, patience and education.Also think about the following
If this morning you've woke up healthy, you are happier then 1 million people that will not survive next week.If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world.If you can enter into a church/mosque without fear of jail or death, you are happier than 3 millionpeople in the world.If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer than 75% of the people in the world.If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, you belong to the 8%of the people on the world, which are well-to-do.
If you read this you are three times more blessed because:
1. Somebody just thought of you.
2. You don't belong to the 200 million people thatcannotread.
3. And... you have a computer!
As somebody once said:" work as if you don't need money,love as if nobody never ever hurt you,dance, as if nobody can see you,sing, as if nobody can hear you,live, as if the Earth was a heaven."
