The current population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion.
For most people, it is a large figure, that is all.
However, someone has condensed the 7.8 billion in the world into 100 persons, and then into various percentage statistics.
The resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

Out of 100 :  (each section)

11 are in Europe
5 are in North America
9 are in South America
15 are in Africa
60 are in Asia

49 live in the countryside
51 live in cities

5 speak Spanish
5 speak English
3 speak Arabic
3 speak Hindi

If you have your own home,
Eat full meals & drink clean water,
Have a mobile phone,
Can surf the internet, and have gone to college, You are in the miniscule  privileged lot.
(in the less than 7% category).

Amongst 100 persons in the world, only 8 can live or exceed the age of 65.

*If you are over 65 years old be content & grateful.  Cherish life, grasp the moment.* You did not leave this world before the age of 64 years like the 92 persons who have gone before you. You are already the blessed amongst  mankind.

Take good care of your own health because nobody cares more than you yourself!

Cherish every remaining moment.

PSA-201205-God’s Decree

Posted on 05/12/2020 by Grumpa Joe

Most seniors never get enough exercise.  In His wisdom God decreed that 
seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, 
keys, and other things, thus doing more walking.  And God looked down and 
saw that it was good.

Then God saw there was another need.  In His wisdom He made seniors lose 
coordination so they would drop things, requiring them to bend, reach, and 
stretch.  And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors   would 
have additional calls of nature, requiring more trips to the   bathroom, 
thus providing more exercise.  God looked down and saw that   it was good.

So if you find, as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s 
God’s will.  It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under 
your breath.

Nine Important Facts to Remember as We Grow Older

#9  Death is the number 1 killer in the world.

#8  Life is sexually transmitted.

#7  Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

#6   Men have two motivations: hunger and hanky-panky, and they can’t tell 
them apart.  If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

#5  Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day.  Teach a person to use 
the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

#4  Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, 
dying of nothing.

#3  All of us could take a lesson from the weather.  It pays no attention to 
criticism.

#2  In the 60’s, people took LSD to make the world weird.  Now the world is 
weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

#1  Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers.  What you do today may be a 
burning issue tomorrow.

Please share this wisdom with others; I need to go to the bathroom.
