Earth Status Report - 2006
If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:
| | 14% Americans (northern and southern) | | | | | | 6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America | | 80% would have bad living conditions | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 (only one) will have higher education | |
When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity, understanding, patience and education.
Also think about the following - This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week. If you never suffered a war, | | the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, | | | |
you are happier than 500 million people in the world. If you can enter into a church (mosque) without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world. If there is a food in your fridge, | | you have shoes and clothes, | | | | you are richer then 75% of the people in the world. | | | | If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, | | you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, who are well-to-do. | |
If you read this you are three times blessed because: 1. somebody just thought of you. | | 2 . you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read. | | 3 . and... you have a computer! | |
As somebody once said: " - Work as if you don't need money, | | - Love as if you've never been hurt, | | - Dance, as if nobody can see you, | | - Sing, as if no one can hear, | | - Live, as if the Earth was a heaven." | |
If you like, send this to people you call friends. If you don't send this, nothing will happen. But, if you send it - someone will smile
