Food for thought- A Xaldin entry.

A little food for thought a good friend of mine Ze[x]ion sent me, think about it you are luckyer then you think you are my friend's. So quit emoing out and be happy for a bit, your pretty damn lucky.

All I am saying is BE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE AND WELL. Cause guess what, you can read this, you have a roof over your head, you are not starving!

Well I guess thats all I have to say, please think about this...


If the Earth's population (taken from the last Census) were condensed to a group of 100 people with all existing human ratios remaining the same it would look like this:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Western hemisphere people (North and South America)
8 Africans

Furthermore:
70 would be non-white, 30 would be right.
70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christan
89 would be Heterosexual, 11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 50 percent of the entire world's wealth
80 would be in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be near birth
1 would have a collage education
1 would own a computer.


Here are some things to think about-

If you woke up this morning with more health then illness you are more blessed then the million who will not survive to the rest of this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a religious meeting of your choice without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death. You are more blessed then 3 billion people in the world

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer then 75% of the world

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy

If you can read this information, you are luckier then over 2 billion people in the world who cannot read at all
