I don't know who is the original writer , this was passed on to me by a faithful reader, but what a genuinely considerate person he or she is to share this with us. My thanks to the author.
This is only an excerpt - the entire piece is THE GLOBAL VILLIAGE.
If you woke up this morning in good health, you have more luck than 1 million people, who won't live through the week.
If you have never experienced the horror of war, the solitude of prison, the pain of torture, were not close to death from starvation, then you are better off than 500 million people.
If you can go to your place of worship without fear that someone will assault or kill you, then you are luckier than 3 billion (that's right) people.
If you have a full fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are wealthier than 75% of the world's population.
If your parents are still alive and still married, you are a rare individual.
If someone sent you this message, you're extremely lucky because someone is thinking of you and because you don't comprise 1 of the 2 billion people who can't read.
AND SO...
WORK like you don't need the money
LOVE like nobody has ever hurt you.
DANCE like nobody is watching.
SING like nobody is listening.
LIVE as if this was Paradise on Earth.
