Feel Blessed!



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
       8 Would Be Africans
       14 From The Western Hemisphere, Both The North & South
      
52 Would Female
       48 Would Be Male
       30 Would Be White
       70 Would Be Non-White
       70 Would Be Non-Christian
       30 Would Be Christian
       89 Would Be Heterosexual
       11 Would Be Homosexual
       6 People Would Possess 59% Of Entire World's Wealth And All Six Would Be From USA.
       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 (yes, only 1) Would Own A Computer

       And Therefore:

       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 Woke Up This Morning With More Health Than
       Illness, You Are More Blessed Than The Million Who
       Will Not Survive The Week.
    
       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 You Can Attend A Church Meeting Without Fear Of
       Harassment, Arrest, Torture, Or Death, You Are More
       Blessed Than 3 Billion People In This World.


       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 Read This Message, Consider Yourself More
       Blessed Than The Over 2 Billion People In The World
       Who Cannot Read At All.


       As You Read This and Are Reminded Of How Life Is In The
       Rest Of The World, Remember Just How Blessed You Really
       Are.


       When One Considers Our World From Such A Compressed
       Perspective, We Should Realize The Need For Acceptance,
       Understanding And Education.
