With a little imagination , yet few exact mathematical data, if we could reduce the world population in a village of 100 people while maintaining the proportions of all people exist on Earth, that village would consist: Asian
57 + 21 + 14 European American (North, Central and South) + 8 Africans;
There would be: 52 women and 48 men, 30 white and 70 nonwhite, 30 Christians and 70 non-Christians 89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals 6 people would possess
59% of total wealth and all 6 would originate in the USA;
80 would live in poor houses, 70 would be illiterate 50 would suffer from malnutrition 1 would be dying 1 would be being born 1 would own a computer, 1 (yes only one) have a university degree.
Other elements to measure your luck?
If you got up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not see next week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of hunger, you are better than 500 million people.
If you can go to church without fear of being threatened, tortured or killed, you have a better position than 3 billion people.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on you, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% inhabitants of the earth.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and money in a small box, you are part of the 8% most privileged of the world.
If you are reading this message, you are doubly privileged, first because you live in a country where anyone could freely published this article on a blog because you're not part of the two billion people who can not read!
Very good week to you, and next Wednesday ...
