I'm gonna be away for a few days. Going to stay with my sister. So, I thought I would leave you with this post. It is an email that I received and it really made me think and realize yet again how blessed I am.

If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
60 Asians
12 Europeans
5 US Americans and Canadians
8 Latin Americans
14 Africans

49 would be female
51 would be male

82 would be non-white
18 white

89 heterosexual
11 homosexual

33 would be Christian
67 would be non-Christian

5 would control 32% of the entire world's wealth,
and all of them would be US Citizens

80 would live in substandard housing

24 would not have any electricity
(And of the 79% that do have electricity,
most only use it for light at night)

67 would be unable to read

1 (only one) would have a college education

50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation

33 would be without access to a safe water supply

1 would have HIV

1 near death

2 would be near birth

7 people would have access to the internet

If to take a look at the world from the condensed perspective,
the need for acceptance, understanding and
education becomes evident.

Think of it!

If you woke up this morning with more health than
sickness, you are luckier than the million that will not
survive this week.

If you have never experienced a war,
the loneliness of an imprisonment,
an agony of tortures
or a famine
You are happier than 500 million persons in this world.

If you are able to go to church, mosque or synagogue without
fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death,
you are happier than 3 billion persons in this world.

If there is a meal in your refrigerator,
if you are dressed and have got shoes,
if you have a bed and a roof above your head,
you are better off than 75% of people in this world.

If your parents are still alive and still married,
then you are a rarity.

If you have a bank account,
money in your purse/wallet,
and there is some trifle in your
coin box,
you bleong to 8% of well provided
people in this world.
