If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:

60 Asians
12 Europeans
5 US Americans and Canadians
8 Latin Americans
14 Africans

49 would be female
51 would be male

82 would be non-white
18 white

89 heterosexual
11 homosexual

33 would be Christian
67 would be non-Christian

5 would control 32% of the entire world's wealth, and all of them would be US citizens

80 would live in substandard housing

24 would not have any electricity(And of the 76% that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.)

67 would be unable to read

1 (only one) would have a college education.

50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation

33 would be without access to a safe water supply

1 would have HIV

1 near death

2 would be near birth

7 people would have access to the Internet

If to take a look at the world from this condensed perspective,the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes evident.

Think of it!

If you woke up this morning with more health than sickness,you are luckier than the million that will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced a war,a loneliness of an imprisonment,an agony of tortures or a famine.You are happier, than 500 million persons in this world.

If you are able to go to church, mosque or synagogue without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are happier, than 3 billion persons in this world.

If there is a meal in your refrigerator, if you are dressed and have got shoes,if you have a bed and a roof above your head, you are better off, than 75% of people in this world.

If your parents are still alive and still married,
then you are a rarity.

If you have a bank account, money in your purse
and there is some trifle in your coin box, you belong to 8% of well-provided people in this world.

If you read this text, you are blessed three times as much, because Someone has thought of you; You do not belong to 2 billion people who can NOT read
and... you have your computer!

Someone has remarked once:

Work.... like you don't need money,

Love.... like you've never been hurt,

Dance..... like nobody's watching,

Sing..... like nobody's listening,

Be surprised...... like you were born yesterday,

Tell the truth ......then you don't have to remember anything,

Live....... like it's Heaven on Earth.

This is your World!

And you are able to make changes!

Hasten to do good works!

Think of it!
