If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small town with 100 people and keep the proportions, it will look like this: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 Americans (northern and southern) 8 Africans 52 women 48 men 70 colored-skins 30 Caucasians 89 heterosexuals 11 homosexuals 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 70 will be uneducated 50 will be underfed 1 would die 2 would be born 1 will have a computer 1 (only one) will have higher education If you look at the world from this point of view, you will see how there is a big need of solidarity, understanding, patience and education. Also think about the following If this morning you've woke up healthy, you are happier then 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, or hunger, you are happier then 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 have bed and a roof, 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, which are well-to-do.
