If you woke up today healthy, and not ill - then you are luckier than 1 million people who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced warbattle, if you have never experienced the loneliness of improsonment and never been tortured or starved - then you are luckier than 500 million people in the world.
If you can go to church without being afraid to be threathened, arrested or killed - then you are luckier than 3 billion people in this world.
If you have food in your refrigurator, clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in - then you are richer than 75% of the world's population.
If you have an account in a bank, a bit money in your wallet, or a little cash hidden away in a small box - then you are in a group of 8% of the world's population.
If you're reading this you are double blessed, because you are then:
1. Not part of the group of 2 billion people who can't read.
2. You have a computer.
Thanks to Anders for the this enlightening work.
