The Human Society ???

[Logic]

Very interesting. Theres still so much good left to be done in this world.

I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but so many problems wouldn't exist without secret societies like the Illuminati, Knights Templar, etc..

I was given these statistics not so long ago. A friend of mine gave it to me and said that a collegue of hers have found them on the Internet. So, i don't know if the information is reliable. But this is not of importance here. The correct numbers are not my point, though the whole situation is very close to reality.
 
  This is not some kind of a political, racial or religious proclamation!


  "Imagine the whole world is reduced to a village with 100 inhabitants. Then pople will be represented there in the following proportion: 57 asians, 21 europeans, 14 americans (both North and South America), 8 africans, 52 women and 48 men; 30 from the white race and 70 from other races; 30 christians and 70 from other religions; 89 heterosexual and 11 homosexual; 59% from the global wealth will be possessed from 6 - all of them americans; 80 are homeless, 70 are illiterate, 50 are underfed; 1 dies, 1 borns, 1 owns a PC and only 1 is higher educated.

  With this idea the need of uniting, understanding, agreement and education is more than obvious and quite natural.

  Think about this:
if you wake up healthy in the morning, you are happier than 1 000 000 people that won't outlive the next week;
if you have never experienced war or have never been face to face with the loneliness of the prison cell, the agony of hunger so you are happier from 500 000 000 humans around the world;
if you can enter a temple without fear that you might be threatened, arrested or killed, you are happier than 3 000 000 000 humans;
if you are fed, dressed, and with a roof over your head you are more wealthy from 75% of the inhabitants of this planet;
if you have a bank account and money in your pocket you belong to the 3% fortuned people in the world;
if you are reading this you are not from the 2 000 000 000 people who can't read."



  First of all, it's obvious that we are incompetent to change all the worlds iniquities. I proceed from the assumption that we are the multitude but not the authorities.
  Than what? Is there something that we can do to make the world a better place? Is the problem rooted in the human nature? And isn't it too arrogantly to think ourselves to be a high evolved society? (And compared to what???)
 
  According to these statistics above, i'm one of the happy inhabitants. It is so because i have what to eat, what to wear and a roof above my head. I graduated school and have the opportunity to study at university. Also i feel free to go to church without fear.
  All this leads to the conclusion that i can contribute to change the situation.
  So do you.

  I would like to focus your attention your own life, family background and social environment. Because this is where you really act and you have some power there.
  So what you do there to make the world a better place?
  How to change our society?
  May be we should start changing ourselves first?
