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.
