Let us not be stopped by that which divides us but look for that which unites us!
If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human rations remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human rations remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
The village would have:

THINK POSITIVE
If you woke up this morning with more health than sickness, you are luckier that the million that will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced a war, a loneliness of an imprisonment, an agony of tortures or a famine you are happier that 500 million persons in this world.
If you are able to go to church, mosque or synagogue without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are happier than 3 billion persons in this world.
If there is a meal in your refrigerator, if you are dressed and have a bed and a roof above your head, you are better off, than 75% of people in this world.
If your parents are still alive and still married, then you are a rarity.
If you have a bank account, money in your purse, and there is some trifle in your coin box, you belong to 8% of well-provided people in this world.
THIS IS OUR WORLD!
