Someone sent this to me, does it sound correct? does it sound right?
If you compare the world with a village of 100 inhabitants, including all the nations of the world, there would be:
- 57 persons from Asia
- 21 persons from Europe
- 14 persons from the Americas
- 8 persons from Africa
52 would be women and 48 men; 70 would be non-white and 30 persons would have white skin. There would be 70 non Christians and 30 Christians.
Out of these 100 persons, 6 would have 59% of all the world’s riches; 6 persons would be US citizens, 80 would be homeless and 70 illiterate; 50 would be dependent on someone else. One person would have a PC and one would have a certificate or degree.
If you have food in the fridge, have a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head, you are richer than 75% of the total world population.
If you have a bank account or some money in your wallet or even some change somewhere in your home, you belong to the 8% of the richest people on earth.
If you are able to go to church without feeling threatened, getting arrested or put to death, you are more fortunate (blessed) than 3 billion people in this world.
