2008/9/10 If the world were a Village of 100 People如果,你常常为不走运而抱怨、为身处困境而烦躁、为未知的明天而担忧,…… 那么,看看下面的这些文字吧, 当然,问题不会就此消失,但是,你也许会平静下来,找到之前未曾发现的路:
To all my friends and loved ones Love from me Useful Perspective If the world were a Village of 100 People If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following: There would be: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be non-while 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% of the entire world's 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 near birth 1(yes, only 1) would have a college education 1 would own a computer When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. The following is also something to ponder... If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the illion 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 the world. 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 in dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth. If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada. Someone once said: What goes around comes around. So... Work live you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. Live like it's Heaven on Earth. |
