If we could shrink the worlds poulation to a village of precisely 100

people,with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,it would

look something like this.

There would be 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western hemisphere,

both north and south 8 Africans.

52 would be female and 48 would be male.

70 would be non white and 30 would be white.

70 would be non Christian and 30 would be Christian.

89 would be hetrosexual and 11 would be homosexual

6 people would pocess59% of the entire world’s wealth and all 6 would be from the USA.

80 Would be living in substandard housing.

70would be unable to read.

50 would suffer from malnutition.

1 would be near death and 1 would be near 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

needfor acceptance,understanding and education becomes glaringly

apparent.

The following is also something to ponder…..

if you woke one up this morning with more health than illness……you

are more blessed than 1 million who will not survive the 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 youyr back,a roof over

your head and a place to sleep…….you are richer than 75% of this

world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in a dish some where……..you are amoung the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married you are very rare even

in the USA and Canada.

If you can read this message,you just recievd a double blessing in that

someone was thinking of you and furthermore you are more blessed than

over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Someone once said :”What goes aroud comes around”

Work like you don’t need the money.

Love like you have never been hurt.

Dance like nobody’s watching.

Sing like nobody’s listening.

Live like it’s Heaven on earth.

One can never be sure of the hard numbers one thing is for sure we all

very lucky to be where we are and who we are!
