Earth Status report - 2006
If thepopulation of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, itwould look something like this:
57% Asians
21% Europeans
14% Americans (northern and southern)
8% Africans
52% Women
48% men
70% Coloured-skins
30% Caucasians
89% Heterosexuals 11% Homosexuals
6 people would own 59% of the world weath and all of them will be from the United States of America
80% would have bad living conditions
70% would be uneducated
50% Underfed
1 would die
2 would be born
1 would have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education
When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity,
understanding, patience and education.
Also think about the following –
This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 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 theworld.
If you can enter into a church (mosque) without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world.
If there is food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have a 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 in the world, who are well-to-do.
If you read this you are three times 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 you’ve never been hurt”
“Dance, as if nobody can see you”
“Sing, as if no one can hear”
“Live, as if the Earth was a Heaven”
If you like, send this to people you call friends.
If you don't send this, nothing will happen.
But,
if you Send it ~ Someone will SMILE!!!
So Start Living And Stop Worrying.
You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are!!!
