I got this from Peter!!! Thanks, <a href=http://public.fotki.com/Pedro23//>Peter</a>!!!
If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small town with 100 people and keep the proportions, 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 of America
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 computer
1 (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 million people in the world.
If there is food in your fridge,
you have shoes and clothes,
you have a 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.
1. you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read.
1. 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."
