TAKE A WORLDVIEW.....FORGET THE NE PATRIOTS

I was thinking of the Patriots loss the other night and all the fans both young and old who were upset at the outcome.
We all realize that it is ok to care about the NFL if you take it in the sense that it is entertainment and
not "life or death" or serious gambling.
I was reading a Matthew Kelley book a few weeks ago and he asked a simple question ..........

What is your worldview............Here is his answer.......


How do you see the world?...  there are almost 7 billion people on the planet, and if we reduce the world’s population to 100 people, proportionally…
  • 57 of those 100 people would come from Asia, 21 from Europe, 14 from North and South America, and 8 from Africa
  • 51 would be women, 49 would be men
  • 68 of those 100 people would not be able to read and write...
  • 6 of those 100 people would own or control almost 50% of the world’s wealth
  • 5 of those 6 people would be U.S. citizens
  • 3 of those 5 people would live on the same street of the north shore of Long Island…
  • 1 out of those 100 people would have just been born
  • 1 out of those 100 people would be just about to die, and
  • Only 1 out of those 100 people would have been to college…  
  • 1/3 of the world’s population died from lack of bread
  • 1/3 of the world’s population died from lack of justice, and
  • 1/3 of the world’s population died from overeating…
SEE YOU LATER...........THINK ABOUT IT.....
