Thoughts

Critical thinking is careful and deliberate determination of whether to accept, reject, or suspend judgment.

The world with 100 people.

If  the population of the Earth  was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it  would  look  something like this:

57 Asians, 21 Europeans,  14 Americans (northern and southern),  8 Africans.

52 women and 48 men

70 coloured-skins and 30 Caucasians

89 heterosexuals and 11 homosexuals.

6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America 

80 would have bad living conditions

70  would be uneducated

50 underfed

1 would die

2 would be born

1  would have a computer

1 (only one) will have higher education.

When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity, understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following

This morning, if you woke up healthy,  then you are happier  than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.

If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture or hunger, you are happier  than 500 million people in the world.

If you can enter into a church (synagogue or mosque) without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world. 

If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.  If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world,  who are well-to-do.

As somebody once said: "

-work as if you don't need money,

- love as if  you've never been hurt,

-          dance, as if nobody can see you,

- sing, as if no one can hear,

- live, as if the Earth was a heaven."
