一个美国环境学家写的，曾在网上轰动一时。
If the world were a village of 100 people
To all my friends and loved ones
love from me
useful perspective

If we shrink the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exiting human ratios remaining the same, it would be look something like 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 non white 30 would be white
70 would be non christen 30 would be christen
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 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 compressedperspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
The following is also something to ponder...
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, cloth on your back, a roof of overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.
If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and further more you are more blessed than over 2billion people in the world that can not read at all.
Someone said: what goes around comes around. So,
Work like you don't need money
Love like you never been hurt
Dance like you nobody's watching
Sing like nobody's listening
Live like it is Heaven on Earth.

如果世界是一个一百人的村落
只朋友们以及我所爱的人们
这是一份爱的礼物
也是一席金玉良言
如果我们把世界的人按照现有比率压缩成为一个100人的村子，情况就会如下：
村子里有57个亚洲人 21各欧洲人 14 人来自西半球的南北美洲 8人来自非洲
52个女性 48 个男性 70 个非基督徒 30 个基督徒 89 个异性恋者，11各同性恋者
6个人拥有全世界59%的财富， 而且这6个人全是美国人
80人的居住环境不达标准 70人是文盲 50人苦于营养不良
1人濒临死亡 1人即将出生
1人， 是的仅有1人会接受大学教育
1人拥有电脑
透过这个压缩图放眼世界，我们就会明白接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。
在从以下角度来想想看...
如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙...那么比起那些活不过这一周的百万人来说你可真幸运多了。
如果你未曾经历过战争的危险，入狱的孤独， 严刑的苦楚， 饥饿的痛苦...那么比起世界5亿的人来讲你可真幸运多了。
如果你冰箱里有事物，身上有衣可穿，有屋蓬遮蔽，有地方睡觉...那么比起世界上75%
的人你可是富足多了
如果你银行中有存款，钱包里也有钱，还能到某处消费点菜...你便跻身于世界最富有的8%的人口当中了。
如果您父母依然健在，而且还生活在一起....
这可是非常难得的事，即使在美国与加拿大
如果你能读到此文，那意味着你获得了双重的祝福，因为有人想着你，而且与世界上超
过了20一的文盲人口来相比你可真幸运多了
有人说过:我所付出的终将会有回报
所以....
去工作时， 犹如你不执迷于金钱
去爱他人， 犹如你位曾被伤害过
去跳舞吧， 犹如无人在你身旁观看
去唱歌吧， 犹如无人在你身旁倾听
好好生活， 犹如这里是人间乐土
