Sometimes people just post something that they have found from other sources. Many of them cannot be tracked to their original source or have been around for years. I personally have found some of the most inspirational pieces this way. The internet can be a pain in the ass, but it is gems like this that make it all worth while.

enough to post here....


 SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

 "If we could shrink the earth's population to a
 village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing
 human ratios remaining the same, it would look
 something like the following. There would be:
 57 Asians
 21 Europeans
 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8
 Africans
 52 would be female
 48 would be male
 70 would be nonwhite
 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."
