If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people
with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining - what
would this tiny, diverse village look like?

That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical dr. at Stanford
University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out.

This is what he
found:

57 would be Asian
21 would be European
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere
  8 would be African

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

30 would be white
70 would be nonwhite

6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire worlds 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 pregnant

1 would have a college education

1 would own a computer

The following is an anonymous interpretation:

Think of it this way. If you live in a good home, have plenty to
eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group. And if you
have a good house , food, can read and have a computer, you are among the very elite.

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 can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,...you are fortunate, more than three billion
people in the world can't.

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
a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

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

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly
thankful....you are blessed because the majority can, but most do
not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the
shoulder you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing
in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world.. that cannot read at all.

Have a great day, count your blessings.

And please pass this on !!
