The following is also something to ponder

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experianced 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 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, spare change in a dish somewhere...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and married...you are very RARE, even in the United States and Canada.
