got this in an email. 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 this...there would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
8 Africans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
52 would be female; 48 would be male
70 would be non-white; 30 would be 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 United States
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 life
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
if you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are better off than the million who will not survive this week
if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, than you're 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 3 billion people in the world
if you have food in the refridgerator, cloths on your back, a roof overhead, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world
if you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy
if your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada
if you can read this excerpt, you are more blessed than over 2 billion people in the world who cannot read at all
