ONE world

consider this:
if the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans

52 women
48 men

70 coloured-skins
30 caucasian

89 heterosexuals
11 homosexuals

6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them would be from the United States.
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 (yes...only ONE!!!) would have a higher education...

Also think about this:
- 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 a 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 or 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 a bed and a roof over your head, you are richer then 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.

I don't think we appreciate the rights and possibilities we have enough....not to mention the LUXURIES we have.
What to do about it?! I'm not sure, but I think acknowledging the facts is a start...Think about it!
