Just to give you something to think about

If the World were 100 People:

50 would be female

50 would be male

26 would be children

74 adults, 8 of whom would be 65 and older

There would be:

60 Asians

15 Africans

14 people from the Americas

11 European

83 would be able to read and write, 17 would not

7 with a college degree

22 would own or share a computer

1 would be dying of starvation

15 would be undernourished

21 would be overweight

13 people would have no clean, safe water to drink

48 would live on less then $2 USD per day

1 out of 2 children would live in poverty

22 would not have electricity

16 would have no toilets

19 would have unimproved toilets

Be grateful for beeing one of the privileged every day on this planet and think about this the next time you feel like you life is miserable.

If you are reading this there are plenty of others whose lifes are much more miserable then yours.

Wow, this is sad and interesting at the same time. You sure as hell gave ME something to think about.

And I wonder how many of these privileged people would sit around in social networks all day and not contribute anything to society.

I have recently been to Indonesia and it really made me appreciate what I have. The people there have no school to go to, so they work with their hands in dirt every day, not talking about having a smartphone or any access no the Internet. I hate when these spoilt kids start rambling about how they are unhappy their house doesnt have a second floor or that their room doesn't have a TV. Srsly though, these kids should be dropped into Indnesia for a week. I don't even life in a fancy house, I live in a 2-room flat...

Agreed. I mean seriously, when I was young, I rarely had the chance to even watch TV, let alone have one in my room. Complaining about not having a second floor? My CR(ass), one floor's enough for a family.

Interesting, I thought that there were a lot less left-handed people.
