If There Were
Only 100 People On Earth
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, 89
would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual, 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 and quite a few would be in a
jail or madhouse.
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for
acceptance, understanding, and education and YOUR educating those behind you on
the ladder, all 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 bombs raining on your house, bullets on your person, and on your
family's bodies, 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 who have. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of
harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion
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.
Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
Work as if you didn't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
Teach because the only enemy is IGNORANCE.
