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 church (mosque) 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.

If you read this you are blessed because you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read.

As somebody once said:

" - Work as if you don't need money,
- Love as if you've never been hurt,
- Dance, as if nobody can see you,
- Sing, as if no one can hear,
- Live, as if the Earth was a heaven."

So start living & stop worrying, You don't know how lucky you are!
