If you...

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 who do.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

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 your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

**I'm not sure where this is from originally, so I don't know who to cite with it.

Damn!
What do you mean you don't know wher it's from? Is it a fwd chain mail or is it sociological fact.
It is very compelling, regardless.
