Very interesting, Peter - I'm not sure whether I feel good or bad about this, perhaps a little of both .....

Thanks for this Peter.

If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small town with 100 people and keep the proportions, it will look like this:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans









52 women
48 men







70 coloured-skins
30 caucasians







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 will be uneducated


50 will be underfed


1 would die


2 would be born


1 will have a computer


1 (only one) will have higher education



If you look at the world from this point of view, you will see how there is a big need of solidarity, understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following

If this morning you've woke up healthy, you are happier then 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 than 3 million people in the world.

If there is food in your fridge,


you have shoes and clothes,


you have a bed and a roof,


you are richer than 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, which are well-to-do.



If you read this you are three times more blessed because:

1. somebody just thought of you.


1. you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read.


1. and... you have a computer!



As somebody once said:

"- work as if you don't need money,


- love as if nobody never ever hurt you,


- dance, as if nobody can see you,


- sing, as if nobody can hear you,


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