All human beings are born
free and equal in dignity and rights
(UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS -
UN General Assembly Resolution 217A (III) of 10 December 1948)
but are they ?

If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group. And if you have a good house, food, can read & have a computer, you are among the very elite.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
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.
If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head 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 world's wealthy.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
