These figures may not be current Earth's Population Statistics in Perspective
The population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion. For most people, it is a significant figure.
However, if you condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons, and then into various percentage statistics, the resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.
Out of 100: 11 are in Europe. 5 are in North Americ. 9 are in South America
15 are in Africa
60 are in Asia
49 live in the countryside
51 live in a city,
75 have mobile phone
25 do not.
30 have internet access
70 do not have the availability to go online
83 can read
17 are illiterate.
33 are Christians22 are MuslimsM14 are Hindus 7 are Buddhists12 are other religions
12 have no religious beliefs.
26 live less than 14 years
66 die between 15 - 64 years of age
8 are over 65 years old.
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, then you are in the minuscule privileged lot . . . (in the less than 7% category)!!
Amongst 100 persons in the world, only eight live or exceed the age of 65!
If you are over 65 years old, be content & grateful. Cherish life. Grasp the moment. If you did not leave this world before the age of 64, like the 92 persons who have gone before you, you are already the blessed among humankind. Take good care of your health. Cherish every remaining moment.
If you think you are suffering memory loss, read on., very interesting:
In the following analysis, the French Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospital addresses the subject in a rather reassuring way:
"If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's."
1. forget the names of families.
2. do not remember where I put some things .
It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory. "The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is lacking."
This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.
Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease. The most common cases are: - forgetting the name of a person, - going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there, - a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress, - a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys. After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years .
Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statements:
1."Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory."
2. "Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's are not aware of what is happening."
Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights:
"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness."
We are truly blessed, So, share this with your over-55 friends, it could reassure them.
In any case, if you are over 65 and complaining about a few aches and pains, think agai
....... 92% of people didn't even get that opportunity!!
So be pleased with your situation and be happy
