From: Nadeem IF There Were Only... 100 People in the World
If we could shrink the
earth's population
To a
village of precisely 100 people,
with
all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
It would look something like the following... There
would be:
57
Asians
21
Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere,
both north and south
8
Africans
52 would
be female
48 would
be male
70 would
be non-white
30 would
be white
70 would
be non-Christian
30 would
be Christian
6 people would possess... 59% of the entire World's wealth
And all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would
live in substandard housing
70 would
be unable to read
50 would
suffer from malnutrition
1 would
be near death;
1 would
be near birth
1 (yes,
only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer When one considers our world From such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education
becomes glaringly apparent.
The following is also something to ponder... If you woke up this morning... With more health than illness You are more blessed than the million
who
will not survive this week.
If you
have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture,
or the pangs of starvation.
you are
ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you
have food in the refrigerator,
clothes on your back,
a roof
overhead and a place to sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you
have money in the bank,
in your wallet,
and spare change in a dish someplace...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
you
are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, And furthermore... You are more blessed than over two billion people in the world
that
cannot read at all.
And the World's leader's Still claims to be just, humanist, and performing well... Say What ? We Earth Citizens... Say... It's Time For Serious Change... By All of Us ECs... Everywhere !
