Earth Status report – 2007

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 wor ld

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 su ffered 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 church (mosque) without fear of jail or death,

you are happier then 3 milli on people i n th e 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 th e 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.

If you read this you are three times blessed because:

1. somebody just thought of you.
2 . you don’t belong to the 200 milli on people that cannot read.
3 . and… you have a computer!

As somebody once said:

“- Work as if you don’t need money,
- Love as if you’ve never been hurt,
- D ance, as if nobody c an see you,
- Sing, as if no one c an hear,
