A Glimpse Of The World

A Glimpse Of The World

Listen to this ....
This makes you think !!!

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 the following :
There would be:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
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
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 birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness...you are more blessed 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...you are ahead of 500
million people in the world.

If you can attend a relgous meeting without fear of
harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more
blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your
back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are
richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and
spare change in a dish someplace ... 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 message, you just received a
double blessing in that someone was thinking of you,
and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two
billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

amoeba_man on March 16, 2007 at 07:09

hey im all for jews but, have any of you ever heard eye for and eye?
well ghandi once said," an eye for an eye will leave the whole world
blind."

pimpalicous on April 28, 2007 at 11:35

OKAY, THIS IS BADLY EXXAGERATED.... (spelling?sorry) Soo... 6
people are really rich, and only one of them has a college degree??
and only one of them has a computer??... yeah. Stop dramatising
everything. The world is in dire need of help, but walking around
over-dramatising and doing nothing to help... is NOT helping.)

Rita on May 08, 2007 at 12:54

I was using the computer/degree thing as an example, but you know what
I mean.. These stats were actually taken from very unrelieable
sources. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. For
example, did you know that 70% of people reading this will experience
some form of Anger? And 23% will infact lose their jobs! And only a
mere 7% will realise that I am pulling these numbers OUTTA MY ASS!!!
c'mon ppl, fight the wannabe man xoxo

Rita Again lol on May 08, 2007 at 01:00

mr tea on May 16, 2007 at 07:24

I've already known that people suffer all my life but know that I have
the actual Number I'm looking at this amazed. And u know what Amazes
me even more? When people read things like this they forget about it
so soon.

Violeta on July 12, 2007 at 09:59

the guy that said what goes around comes around was justin timberlake
:p

iLoveGibberish on December 16, 2007 at 10:42

just a little fact about the world- this is from a soilders point of
view, so i think i may speak freely (people should just understand
meaning of free will)- (and that "this" world isnt) - most people
living in other countries dont get the fact that we (USA) rule on
earth and that so in that fact we'll be over ruled in the next 2 years
if they caught up toward our technology if we don’t do something
because were not exactly the smartest country on the planet. Just
because we live in a free society where it is safe to be unpopular or
whatever doesn't mean we can't keep thinking "we're" all that matter
and that the world has nothing to do with us, that goes for us
“both”. This is where we live, this is home most importantly and
we have to do our parts. No regrets in my commitment I plan to do all
I can for my country in my own way, well now that’s just my opinion,
but the question for u is what’s your story, understand to chose to
defend your country as long as ur alive anyway, at some part, because
if “u” don’t, we couldn’t imagine reliving the past and living
up to our history’s mistakes ever again. I kno its all to much to
say but just saying.

Kristin Kreuk on December 22, 2007 at 11:52

u know i bet u all r fucking jews, and by the way jew isnt an insult

online ahaha

Kristin Kreuk. on February 07, 2008 at 03:43

yep ^_- **wink** THX ALOT

... on March 30, 2008 at 05:50

i am so confused as to how most of you can say such stupid things...
seriously are you proud to say that you hate jews or are you proud to
bash on the person who put this message up. this person probably just
wants to help us realize what we have and make the world a better
place. grow up!!! stop acting like stupid bullies!

bridget on July 07, 2008 at 01:14

wowwwwwwww

nikki on July 14, 2011 at 09:23

We only hear about media voice and opinions so much more than the
truth that we don't really know the truth unless facts like these are
presented. Keep your minds open. Enjoy flowers which are the way the
earth laughs and good things in life. What a bunch of elementary grade
posters on here. Grow up children.

Planet Person on September 14, 2011 at 08:18

What makes me sad is the fact that the vast majority of the people
posting here are the richest and most educated people in the world,
yet they are hardly literate. We, the educated and privileged, are
those that are should be defeating these injustices, but most of us
(as seen above) can't even form a proper sentence. It's depressing to
see how much potential is wasted.

Sue on November 23, 2011 at 01:10

fuck this, i'd live in any country, under any circumstance, under
threat of death, starvation, torture, and still do what i do. i would
work till i dropped, i would go for weeks without eating, days without
sleep, months without any human contact, years without a single
friend, and still try my hardest to survive. if you need to think of
this when you wake up, whether you are in a mansion, a house, an
apartment,or the street you are weak, and if you can't deal with that,
i don't give a fuck.
