If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people,with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,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
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59 per cent of the 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
If you have food in the fridge,clothes on your back,a roof to overhead,and a place to sleep,you are richer 75 per cent of this world.If you have money in the bank and spare change somewhere,you are among the top 8 per cent of the world's wealthy.
And if you can read this message,you are more blessed than more the two million people in the world who cannot read at all.
Makes you think doesn't it?At least it makes me think......
