If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on
your back, a roof over your head 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 a dish someplace ... you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness ... you are more fortunate than the one
million who will not survive this week.
If you have 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 are free to attend a religious meeting, or
free to choose not to, without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death... you are more
fortunate than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married
... you are very rare.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face
and are truly thankful ... you are fortunate because the
majority can, but most do not.
If you can read this message, you know that
someone was thinking of you, and furthermore,
you are more fortunate than the over two billion
people in the world that cannot read at all.
And....if you happen to have all this AND belong
to this Landspeed list.....say no more!.
Dont know who wrote it..isnt it great.
