Earth

Status report - 2009

 

If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100

people, it would

look something like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

57% Asians

 

 

21% Europeans

 

 

14% Americans (northern and southern)

 

 

8% Africans

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

52% women

 

 

48% men

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

70% coloured-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%

 would be uneducated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

50%

underfed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

would die

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

would be born

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

would have a computer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

(only one) will have higher education

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you look at the wor

ld 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,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or

hunger,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you are happier than 500 million people in

th e

world.

If you can enter into a church (mosque) without fear of jail or death,

 you are happier then 3 milli on people

i n th e 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 th e 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 milli on 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,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- D

ance, 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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              So start living & stop

worrying,

                  You don't know

how blessed  you are!
