Statistics

If the population of the Earth was reduced to that
of a small town with 100 people, it would look
something like this:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans
52 women
48 men
70 coloured-skins
30 caucasians
89 heterosexuals
11 homosexuals

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 would be uneducated

50 underfed

1 would die

2 would be born


1 would have a computer

1 (only one) will have higher education

When you look at the world from this point of view,
you can see there is a real need for solidarity,
understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following

This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are
happier than the 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 then 3 million
people 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 then 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, who are well-to-do.

If you read this you are three times blessed because:

1. somebody just thought of you.
2 you don't belong to the 200 million people that
cannot read.
3 and... you have a computer!

As somebody once said:
"- work as if you don't need money,
- love as if you've never been hurt,
dance, as if nobody can see you,
- sing, as if no one can hear,
- live, as if the Earth was a heaven."

If you like, send this to people you call friends.
If you don't send this, nothing will happen. But, if
you send it - someone will smile--
