PUTTING IT ALL IN
PERSPECTIVE
Just a
little something to brighten up your morning, or whatever time of
day you read
this!!
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
When
one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance,
understanding and education 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 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.
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
like you don'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.

Please do keep the politics out of this forum.The article you sent is just a
new version of an old antisemitic "Protocols of Zion Elders" - how nice this
article connect Bush staff to Israeli Likud party, Jews and again there are
Jews to blame them for everythink.
I am sick of it.
