I really do not believe in forwards, but I thought that this
particular one was pretty interesting.

If Earth's population shrunk into a village of 100 people with all of
the human ratios existing in the world still remaining what would
this tiny, diverse village look like?

That's exactly what Dr. Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the
Standford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out.
This is what he found.

57 would be Asian
21 would be European
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere
8 would be African
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world wealth, and all
6 would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be pregnant
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer

The following is an anonymous interpretation:

Think of it this way. If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat
and can read, you are a member of a very select group.

And if you have a good house, food, can read and have a computer, you
are among the very elite.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are
more fortunate than the million who will not survive 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 this world.

If you can attend church without fear of harassment, arrest, torture,
or death... you are fortunate, more than three billion in this world
can't.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this
world.

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

If your parents are still alive and still married... you are very
rare, even in the United States.

If you hold your head with a smile on your face and are truly
thankful... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someones hand, hug them or even touch them on
shoulder... you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in
that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more
blessed than over two billion people in this world that can not read
at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings.
