subject: Knock on Heaven's Door [print this page] If we compress the whole world population into a village with 100 people, the village will contain: 57 Asian people, 21 European people, and 14 Americans and Ocean people, 8 Africans, 52 women and 48 men.
6 people have the 89% wealth of the whole village, and all of them come from America. 80 people have bad housing conditions; 70 people are illiterate; 50 people are in malnutrition; one person is dying; one person is born; one person has a computer and one person, (only one) has a college degree.
If we know the world in this way, we can understand the following information:
If today you get up in the morning healthily with no disease, you are more fortunate than other tens of thousands of people who even cannot see the sun next week.
If you've never tried the danger of battle, the loneliness and torture of prison and hunger, then your situation is better than the other 5 million people.
If you can go in and out church or temple without any violence, danger and intimidation, then you have more luck than 30 million people.
If your refrigerator has food to eat, if you have clothes to wear, a house to live, a bed to sleep, then you are richer than 75% of the people in the world.
If you have deposits in bank, cash in your wallet, changes in your pocket, and then you are the 8% luckiest man in the world.
If your parents have not divorced, you are very rare in the earth.
If you read the above text, you don't belong to 20 million illiterates who are in pain every day for the illiterate.
To love like you've never been hurt; to dance like no one is watching; to sing like no one is listening;
To write like you don't need the prize; to bloom like you are not afraid to wither; to live just like today is the last day.
