Earth Status report - 2006

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 three times blessed because:


1. somebody just thought of you.

2 . you don't belong to the 200 million 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,

- Dance, as if nobody can see you,

- Sing, as if no one can hear,

- Live, as if the Earth was a heaven."


If you like, send this to people you call friends.
If you don't send this, nothing will happen. But, if you send it - someone will smile


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