>> If we could take the entire human race and
>> shrink it down to a tiny village of just a hundred people, while keeping

>> that village would look like this:
>>
>> 57 Asians
>> 21 Europeans
>> 14 Americans
>> 8 Africans
>>
>> 52 women and
>> 48 men
>&>>
>> 70 non-white people
>> 30 white people
>>
>> 70 non-Christians
>> 30 Christians
>>
>> 89 heterosexuals
>> 11 homosexuals
>>
>> Only 6 people would own 59% of all the world's
>> wealth, and all 6 of them would be from the United States
>>
>>
>> 80 people would be living without basic housing
>> necessities
>>
>> 70 would be illiterate
>>
>> 50 would be hungry
>>
>> 1 would be dying
>>
>> 1 would be born
>>
>> 1 would own a computer
>>
>> 1 would have a college degree

>> When you look at the world through these numbers,
>> the need for acceptance, empathy, compassion, and
>> education becomes painfully obvious.
>>
>> Now, think about this:
>>
>> If you woke up this morning feeling healthier than sick,
>> you're luckier than a million people who won't make it
>> to next week.
>&>>
>> If you've never felt the threat of war, the loneliness
>> of being trapped, the agony of torture, or the bite of hunger,
>> you're luckier than 500 million (half a billion) people
>> on this planet.
>>
>> If you can walk into a church without fearing you'll be threatened,
>> tortured, or killed, you're luckier than 3 BILLION people
>> worldwide.
>>
>> If there’s food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof
>> over your head, and a bed to sleep in, you're richer
>> than 75% of the world's population.
>>
>> If you have a bank account, cash in your wallet, and even
>> some spare change tucked away in a jar, you belong
>> among the top 8% of the wealthiest people on Earth.
>>
>> If your parents are still alive and—even better—still
>> married, you're one of the truly rare ones.
>>
>> If you can actually read this message right now, you're twice
>> blessed:
>> because someone was thinking of you, and
>> because you aren't part of the 2 billion people who can't
>> read and don't have a computer.
>>
>> Someone once said:
>&>>
>> Work like you don't need the money.
>> Love like nobody has ever hurt you.
>> Dance like nobody is watching.
>&>> Psing like nobody can hear you.
>> Live like paradise is right here on Earth.
>&>>
>&>> This is International Friendship Week."
