If the world were a village of 100 people

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ra-tios 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 　
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homesexual
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

When one considers our world from such a com-presses perspective, the need for acceptance, understand-ing and education becomes glaringly apparent.　
The following is also something to ponder…　
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 bat-tle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of tor-ture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million 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 dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth. 　
If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
So...
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.
