How our World Looks Today...
We live in a ‘global village’ along with 6 billion other people on this planet we all call home
But is there a universal code of ethics for all those 6 billion people that inhabit our earth?
Do most people who share our earth live similar to the way we live?
Do they struggle with the same hardships that we struggle with in our lives?
Do they ask the same questions? Why are we here? What is God’s plan for us?
Do they love, cry and laugh like we do?
Are they curious, afraid but optimistic about life like we are?
Do they know no boundaries about where their life can take them?
How will we ever know?
Imagine if our whole population of 6 billion people was shrunk into a village of just 100 people...
What would this tiny, diverse village look like?
57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western hemisphere 8 Africans
52 Females 48 Males 70 non-white 30 White
6 people would possess 59% of the village’s wealth, of all of whom would be from the United States of America 70 are unable to read 50 suffer from mal-nutrition
1 is near death 1 has a college education 1 owns a computer
“If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group”
“If you have a good house, food, can read and have a computer, you are among the very elite in this world”
“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week”
“If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment or the agony of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in this world”
“If you can attend church without fear of harassment, arrest or death, you are fortunate.... More than 3 billion people in the world cannot”
“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world..”
“If you have money in the bank, in you wallet and spare change somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy”
This is our world today....
And nothing's real but love Nothing's real but love No money, no house, no car, is like love...
