just how blessed you really are!

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

14 from the Western Hemisphere,
both north and south

8 would be Africans

52 would be 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 the entire world's wealth
and all 6 would be from the 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, only1) would own computer.

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective,
we realize the need for acceptance, understanding and education.

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 this 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
three billion people in the 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 you are more blessed than the over
two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.


As you read this and are reminded how life is in the rest of the world, remember just how blessed you really are!
