Luckier Than You Think

If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining - what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Philip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford 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's wealth, and all 6 would be from the United States. 
50 would live in sub-standard 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

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 hold up 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 someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.

You are luckier than you think. Have a good day.
