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 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (North, Central and South)
8 Africans
There would be:
52 women and 48 men
30 Caucasians and 70 non-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
