A Perspective To Ponder

If we could shrink the world's population to a town the size of 100 people, with all the existing ratios remaining the same, it would like like this:

57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere (North and South), and 8 Africans.

51 Males and 49 Females

50 Non-Christians and 30 Christians

50 percent of the wealth woud be in the hands of 6 people. All of those people would be in the U.S.

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be illiterate

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death and 1 would be near birth

1 would be college educated

No one would own a computer

When we consider our world from such an incredibly comrpressed perspective, the need for empathy, tolerance and understnading becomes readily apparent.
