Population of the Earth!

If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small
town with 100 people and keep the proportions,
it will look like this:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans(northern and southern)
8 Africans

52 women
48 men

70 coloured-skins
30 caucasians

6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America

80 would have bad living conditions
70 will be uneducated
50 will be underfed

1 would die
2 would be born
1 will have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education

If you look at the world from this point of view,
you will see how there is a big need of solidarity, understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following:-

If this morning you've woke up healthy,
you are happier then 1 million people
that will not survive next week.

If you never suffered a war,
the loneliness of the jail cell,
the agony of torture, or hunger,
you are happier than 500 million people in the world.

If you can enter into a church (mosque)
without fear of jail or death, you are happier
than 3 million people in the world.

If there is food in your fridge,
you have shoes and clothes,
you have bed and a roof,
you are richer than 75% of the people in the world.

If you have a bank account, money in your wallet
and some coins in the money-box,
you belong to the 8% of the people on the world,
which are well-to-do.

If you read this you are three times more blessed because:
1. somebody just thought of you.
2. you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read.
3. and... you have a computer!

As somebody once said:
- work, as if you don't need money,
- love, as if nobody had ever hurt you,
- dance, as if nobody can see you,
- sing, as if nobody can hear you,
- live, as if the Earth was a heaven.
