Earth Status Report - 2006 *
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 world 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 the world.
If you can enter into a mosque / church without fear of jail or death, you
are happier then 3 million people in the 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 the 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. *
