If there are only 100 people on the earth

If the world were a Village of 100 People

If the world is a village of one hundred people

If we cocould shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it wowould look something like the following:

If we compress the world's population into a Village of 100 People, the situation will be as follows:


There wocould be:

57 Asians

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

By looking at our world through this compress, we can see how important it is to accept, understand, and educate others.


The following is also something to ponder ......

Let's look at it from the following perspectives ......


If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness ...... You are more blessed than the million who will not have ve this week.

If you are healthy when you wake up in the morning ...... So, you are much luckier than the millions of people who can survive the 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 never experienced the danger of war, the loneliness of imprisonment, the suffering of severe punishment, the suffering of hunger ...... So, you are much lucky than the world's 0.5 billion people.


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 food in the refrigerator, clothes to wear, a canopy to hide, and a place to sleep ...... So you are richer than 75% of the people in the 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 you have deposits in your bank and have money in your wallet, you can also purchase cooking at a certain place ...... You are now one of the richest 8% people in the world.


If your parents are still alive and still married... You are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.

If your parents are still healthy and still living together ...... This is very rare, even in the United States and Canada.


Someone once said: what goes around comes around.

Someone said: what I pay will eventually return.



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.

So ......

When you go to work, you are not obsessed with money.

Loving others is like you have never been hurt.

Let's dance, as if no one is watching.

Let's sing, as if no one is listening.

Live a good life, as if it is a land of pleasure.
