The current population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion

For most people, it is a large figure, that is all. However, someone has condensed the 7.8 billion in the world into 100 persons, and then into various percentage statistics. 

The resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

Out of 100:

11 are in Europe.

5 are in North America.

9 are in South America.

15 are in Africa.

60 are in Asia.

49 live in the countryside.

51 live in cities.

12 speak Chinese.

5 speak Spanish.

5 speak English.

3 speak Arabic.

3 speak Hindi.

3 speak Bengali.

3 speak Portuguese.

2 speak Russian.

2 speak Japanese.

62 speak their own language.

77 have  their own houses or are able to pay rent.

23 have no place to live.

21 are over-nourished

63 can eat full

15 are under-nourished.

1 ate the last meal, but did not make it to the next meal.

The daily cost of living for 48 is less than US$2.

87 have clean drinking water.

13 either lack clean drinking water or have access to a water source that is polluted.

75 have mobile phones.

25 do not.

30 have internet access.

70 do not have conditions to go online.

7 received university education.

93 did not attend college.

83 can read.

17 are illiterate.

33 are Christians.

22 are Muslims.

14 are Hindus.

7 are Buddhists.

12 are other religions.

12 have no religious beliefs.

26 live less than 14 years.

66 died between 15 - 64 years of age.

8 are over 65 years old.

If you have your own home, eat full meals & drink clean water. Have a mobile phone. Can surf the internet, and have gone to college. You are in the miniscule privileged lot.

(in the less than 7% category)

Amongst 100 persons in the world, only 8 can live or survive beyond the age of 65. You are over 65 years old. Be content & grateful. Cherish life, grasp the moment.

You did not leave this world before the age of 64 years like the 92 persons who have gone before you. You are already the blessed amongst mankind.

Important information presented in a very interesting manner, easy to comprehend.

I just thought we should read this again to see where we stand.

Stay Blessed!
