If the whole world was reduced into a village with only 100 people
but with exactly the same propotions the village should have:

-----
- 52 women, 48 men
- 70 non christians, 30 christians
- 89 hetero-sexual, 11 homo-sexual
----
- 6 persons owns and uses 59% of all the common finances

- 70 are illiterates
- 50 are underfed
- 1 linger, 2 are born

If you're viewing the world in this way it points out the necessity of
solidarity, understanding, acceptance and education to everybody.

- If you wake up tomorrow, healthy and not sick you are better off
and happier then 1 million people whom is not going to survive until next week.

- If you have never experienced a war, hunger, captivity, lonelyness or the
pain of fighting against death you are better off and happier then
500 million people here on this earth.

- If you can go to church without regrets, without having troubles by doing so
without being put in jail or killed by doing so you are better off then 500 billion of
this earth's inhabitants.

- If there is food in your fridge, if you have a work to go to, if you have a roof
over your head and a bed to sleep in you are richer then 75% of this earth's inhabitants.

- If you're having a bank account, some money in a purse and some pennies in a small box
then you are a part of the richest 8% of this earth's inhabitants.
