Putting Things Into Proper Perspective


With all the griping and political bickering and ceaseless concern for what I don't have, I came across this interesting collection of statistics.

I suppose it gave me reason for pause...and a bit of correction for perspective on life in general.

In case you have trouble with the "artsy" overuse of EVERY font in the book, here is a summary of what it says:

Food, clothes, shelter = richer than 75% of the world

Money in the bank, wallet, and spare change = top 8% of world's wealthy

Etc. Etc. Etc.

OK...I'll stop complaining - for tonight anyway.
