If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and some spare change, you are among 8% of the worlds most wealthy. If you woke up this morning without illness, you are luckier than a million people who might die this week. If you have never experienced battle, torture, starvation or imprisonment, you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering. If you are reading this message, you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in this world.
