THE
VILLAGE OF ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE
If one could reduce the population of the world in a village of 100 people
all while maintaining the proportions of all the people existing on the
ground, this village would be thus composed:
57 Asian
21 Europeans
14 Americans (North, Centre and South)
8 Africans
There would be:
52 women and 48 men
30 white and 70 not white
30 Christians and 70 not Christians
89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexual
6 people would have 59% of the total richness and all the 6 would be
originating in the USA
80 would live in bad houses
70 would be illiterate
50 would suffer from malnutrition (half of the village! !)
1 would be dying
1 would be being born
1 would have a computer
1 (yes, one only) would have a university diploma
If the world in this manner is considered, the need to accept, include/understand
and divide becomes obvious.
Now if you wish it, read the continuation:
If you rose this morning with more health than of disease, you are luckier
than the million people which will not see the next week.
If you never were in the danger of a battle, the loneliness of the
imprisonment, the anguish of torture, the vice of the hunger, you are
better than 500 million people.
If you have food in your refrigerator, of the clothes on you, a roof on
your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than the 75% of the
inhabitants of the ground.
If you have money at the bank, in your wallet and of the currency in a
small box, you the most privileged ridges left the 8% world.
If you read this message, you have just received a double blessing,
because somebody thought you and because you ridges not part of the two
billion people who cannot read.
With you :
Work as if you did not need money.
Like as if nobody had never made you suffer.
Dance as if nobody looked at himself.
Sing as if nobody listened to you.
Live as if the paradise were on ground.
Installations finally these questions and does not worry you it is
finished soon! !
For example, is what at the bottom I am unhappy ?
If the answer is not!
Then tries to answer this question:
Why do I always have anguishes and fears?
Or that there
Why do I always have as many desires and needs?
Or with this one
Why am I stressed and why I accept this way of puffing out me the
life?
And Especially:
With what that is used it?....................
Good day
