If we could shrink the earths population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratio’s remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:

57 Asians

21 Europeans

14 from the western hemisphere, both north and south

8 Africans

52 would be females

48 would be male

70 would be non-white

30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian

30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual

11 would be homosexual

6 people would posses 59% of the entire world’s wealth and all 6 would

Be from the United States

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near to death; 1 would be near to birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education

1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

The following is also something to ponder:

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

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 attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death… you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. 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 the world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, if your parents are still married… you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.

If you can read this message, you have just received a double blessing in that destiny has directed you to this page and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. Someone once said: what goes around comes around. Work like you don’t need the money and be thankful for everyday given to you to share in the commonality of all men.
