count your blessings....
how scary is this?....
if we could shrink the earth's population to a town precisely 100 people, with all the existing ratios the same, it would be soemthing like this...
57 asians, 21 europeans, 14 from western hemisphere, 8 africans
52 female, 48 male
70 non-white, 30 white
70 non-christian, 30 christian
89 heterosexual, 11 homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the world's entire wealth and all 6 from the U.S.
80 would live in sub-standard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 WOULD SUFFER FROM MALNUTRITION
1 near death
1 near birth
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
if you live in a good home, have plenty to eat, and can read, you are a member of a very select group and are very elite
if you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more fortunate than the MILLION WHO WILL NOT SURVIVE THIS WEEK
if you have never experienced the danger, battle and lonliness imprisionment, the agony or the pangs of starvation-you are ahead of 500 million people in this world
if you can attend a religion-related meeting without fear of harrassment, arrest, torture or death, you are more fortunate than 3 billion others
if you have a roof over your head, a place to sleep, food in the fridge, and clothes on your back, you are richer than 75% of the 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 YOU CAN READ THIS MESSAGE, YOU ARE MORE BLESSED THAN OVER 2 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT CANNOT READ AT ALL.
just let this one sink in a little....hope this makes you realize that what you have is amazing, dont take it for granted.
