If the world's population was represented by a village of 100 people, 57 would be Asian, 21 European, 14 American, and 8 African. There would be 52 women and 48 men, with 30 Caucasians and 70 non-Caucasians. 30 would be Christian and 70 non-Christian. 6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and be from the US. 80 would live in poverty, 70 would be illiterate, and 50 would suffer from hunger or malnutrition.

If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people , maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth, that village would consist of 57 A sians 21 Eur opeans 14 A mericans ( North, Central and South ) 8 Afr icans
There would be : 52 women and 48 m en 30 Caucasians and 70 n on-Caucasians 30 Christians and 70 non-Christians 89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals
6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and they would all come from the USA 80 would live in poverty 70 would be illiterate 50 would suffer from hunger and malnutrition 1 would be dying 1 would be being born 1 would own a computer 1 ( yes, only one ) would have a university degree
If we looked at the world in this way , the need for acceptance and understanding would be obvious . But, consider again the following :
If you woke up this morning in good health, you have more luck than one million people, who wont live through the week .
If you have never experienced the horror of war, the solitude of prison , the pain of torture , were not close to death from starvation, then you are better off than 500 million people .
If you can go to your place of worship without fear that Someone will assault or kill you, then you are luckier than 3 billion (thats right) people . If you have a full fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are wealthier than 75% of the worlds population.
If you currently have money in the bank, in your wallet and a few coins in your purse , you are one of 8 of the privileged few amongst the 100 people in the world .
If your parents are still alive and still married, youre a rare individual. If someone sent you this message , youre extremely lucky , Because someone is thinking of you and because you dont comprise one of those 2 billion people who cant read .
AND SO?
Work like you dont need the money. Love like nobody has ever hurt you . Dance like nobody is watching . Sing like nobody is listening . Live as if this was paradise on Earth .
Send this message to your friends . Bypass those who are determined to see the worst in the world no matter what. If you dont send it, nothing will happen . If you do send it , someone might smile while they are reading it, and that will be a positive.
AND APART FROM THAT, SIMPLY HAVE A NICE DAY
