If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people ,  maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth, that village would consist of 57 A sians 21 Eur opeans 14 A mericans   ( North, Central and South )   8 Afr icans
There would be :  52  women   and  48 m en   30  Caucasians and  70 n on-Caucasians   30  Christians   and  70  non-Christians 89  heterosexuals and   11  homosexuals
6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and they would all come from the USA 80  would live in poverty    70  would be illiterate   50  would suffer from hunger and malnutrition   1  would be dying   1  would be being born   1  would own a computer   1 ( yes, only one )  would have a university degree
If we looked at the world in this way , the need for acceptance and understanding would  be obvious . But, consider again the following  :
If you woke up this morning in good health, you have more luck than one million people, who won’t live through the week .
If you have never experienced the horror of war, the solitude  of prison ,  the pain of torture , were not close to death from starvation, then  you are better off than 500 million people .
If you can go to your place of worship without fear that  Someone will assault or kill you, then you are luckier than 3 billion (that’s right) people .   If you have a full fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are wealthier than 75% of the world’s population.
If you currently have money in the bank, in your wallet and a few coins in your purse ,  you are one of 8 of the privileged few amongst the 100 people in the world .
If your parents are still alive and still married,  you’re a rare individual. If someone sent you this message , you’re extremely lucky , Because someone is thinking of you and because you don’t comprise one of those 2  billion  people who can’t read .
AND SO?
Work  like you don’t need the money.  Love   like nobody has ever hurt you .  Dance   like nobody is watching .  Sing   like nobody is listening .  Live   as if this was paradise on Earth .
Send this message to your friends . Bypass those who are determined to see the worst in the  world no matter what. If you don’t send it, nothing will happen . If you do send it ,  someone might smile while they are reading it, and that will be a positive.
AND APART FROM THAT, SIMPLY HAVE A NICE DAY
