If we could shrink the earth to a village with a population
of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining
the same, there would be.....
57 Asians
- 21 Europeans - 8 Africans - 14 from the Western Hemisphere (both
Norht & South
|
| 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 homosexual |
| 6 people
would possess 59% of the entire world's weath and would be from
the United States |
80 would
live in sub-standard 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 we consider our world from such a compressed perspective, the need
for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation - you
are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without
fear, harassment, arrest, torture, or death - you are more blessed than
3 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 the world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet,
and spare change in a dish someplace - you are among the top 8% of the
world's wealthy.
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.
And… holiday at Paskins!!!
