If Our Planet Earth is a Small Town Consisting of 100 People
TAGS:

If our planet earth is a small town consisting of 100 people, that town would have 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 Americans (North, Central and South) and 8 Africans in it.

6 people in our town would possess 59% of the wealth and they would all come from the USA.
80 other people would live in poverty.
70 people would be illiterate.
50 people would suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

So if you woke up this morning in good health, you have more luck than one million people who won't live through the week.

If you have never experience the horror of war, the solitude of prison, the pain of torture, and were not close to death from starvation, then you are better off than 500 million people on Earth.

If you can go to your place of worship without fear that someone will assault or kill you, then you are luckier than 3 billion people.

If you have a full kitchen, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, then you are wealthier than 75% of the world's population.

If you currently have money in the bank, in your wallet and a few coins in your purse, you are one of 8 of the privileged few amongst the 100 people in the world.
And so?

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like nobody has ever hurt you.
Dance like nobody is watching.
Sing like nobody is listening.
Live as if today is your last day on Earth.
