如果将地球人口压缩成一个精确由100人组成的村庄，保持所有现有的人口比例不变，那么这个村庄将呈现出多样化的面貌：57位亚洲人、21位欧洲人、10位来自西半球的人以及8位非洲人。在这个村庄中，6人拥有全球59%的财富，且这6人均来自美国。此外，80人居住条件较差，70人无法阅读，50人面临营养不良的问题。本文还探讨了健康、安全及财富等基本生存条件的重要性。

If the world were a Village of 100 People

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

    There would be:
    57 Asians
    21 Europeans
    10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
    8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-while
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 wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

    80 would live in substandard 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 one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

The following is also something to ponder...

If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the illion who will not survive this week.

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 have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75％ of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace...you are among the top 8％ of the world's wealth.

If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

    So...
    Work live 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.
