The World and You

If we would reduce the whole mankind to a village of 100 inhabitants respecting the proportions of all existing peoples, then this village would be arranged as follows:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (north and south)
8 African

52 would be female
48 would be men
70 non--white
30 white ones
70 non--Christians
30 Christians
89 heterosexual
11 homosexual
6 persons would possess 59% of the entire world wealth and all 6 would come from the USA
80 would not have sufficient housing conditions
70 would be illiterates
50 would be underfed
1 would die
2 were born
1 would have a PC
1 would have an academic education

If we regard the world from this view, it becomes clear to everyone that the need after zusammengehoerigkeit, understanding, acceptance and education is necessary.
If you did wake up this morning healthy and not ill, you are luckier than 1 million humans, who will not experience the next week.
If you never experienced a fight of war, never the isolation by shank, felt Agonie of the tormenting or hunger - then you are luckier than 500 million humans of the world.
If you can go into the church, without the fear that it is threatened to you that one arrests you or kills you - you are luckier than 3 billion humans of the world.
If in your refrigerator meal is, you are tightened, a roof over the head have and a bed for putting down - are you enrich as 75% the humans of this planet.
If you have an account with the bank, something money in the purse or something change in a small box - you belong to 8% the wealthy humans in this world.
If you read this you do not belong to the 2 billion humans not to read to be able. And... You have a PC!

Someone said once:
work - as if you dont need no money
love - as if you have never been hurt,
dance - as if noone looks
sing - as if noone listens,
live - as if the paradies was on the earth.
