If there's food in your fridge, you have a wardrobe full of decent clothes, a place to sleep and you know, a roof over your head, you're richer than 75% of the world. If you have a saving account, a balanced checkbook and there's some money in your wallet right now, you're among the 8% of the world's wealthy. If you woke up this morning feeling more healthy as a horse and less sick as a dog, you're more blessed than the million people who won't survive this week. If you've never experienced the horrors of a war, the agonies of being tortured by a merciless henchman or the pangs of starvation which I bet are excruciatingly painful, you're luckier than 500 people who are suffering like, right now! And the last but not least, if you can read this, you are a hell of a lot more fortunate than those three billion people in the world who can't read at all.
