Humans are persecuted by their own greed. Money is literally the main goal of life.
It is sadly related to every aspect of human's life. The Homo sapiens has become totally depended on those mercantile papers.

The gaps between the poor and the rich are getting bigger and bigger. The human race has never succeeded in managing itself, not to mention the whole world. Ironically, if the world was a corporation, managed by human rules, life would have been fired long ago.

The ones in power will never share it.
They won't give up their control. Forget it! Wake up and face the facts:
Half the world's people live on less than $2 a day.
1.2 billion People live on less than $1 per day.

These people do not just lack financial resources, they struggle each day against hunger and diseases.

"Equality for all" is no more than a sarcastic joke. The 450 richest people in the world are holding assets exceeding the combined annual incomes of countries with half of the world's population.

We truly admire all the efforts to change the horrible reality we live in, but it is time for disillusionment. Humans will not wake up some day compassionate, carrying, and moral. Even if you believe they someday would, when you are waiting for that dreamlike day, you are actually saying to all the suffering creatures in the world and to the ones, who haven’t even been born yet, suffer quietly until the revolution comes.

Globally, incomes and consumption differ starkly. 20% of the world's population, mostly in industrial countries, receives 85% of the world's income and accounts for 80% of consumption, producing 66% of all greenhouse gases and 90% of ozone- depleting chlorofluorocarbons.
poor-childThis level of consumption is not sustainable at the global level.
If the current global population lived as the richest 20% do, consumption of energy would increase 10 times and minerals 200 times.
A child born in the developed world have an ecological impact equal to that of more than 30 children born in developing countries.

In 1960, the 20% of the world's people in the richest countries had 30 times the income of the poorest 20%. Today it is over 80 times.

An analysis of long-term trends shows the gap between the richest and poorest countries was about:

  • 3 to 1 in 1820
  • 11 to 1 in 1913
  • 35 to 1 in 1950
  • 44 to 1 in 1973
  • 72 to 1 in 1992

Inequality is on the increase. In 1976 Switzerland was 52 times richer than Mozambique; in 1997, it was 508 times richer.
250 years ago, the richest countries were only five times richer than the poorest, and Europe only twice as rich as China or India. Today the 15 richest have assets that exceed the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of sub-Saharan Africa.
The assets of the 84 richest people exceed the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of China, which has 1.2 billion inhabitants.

The GDP of the poorest 48 nations, which are a quarter of the world's countries, is less than the wealth of the world's three richest people combined.

The richest 20% of the world population:
Consume 58% of total energy, the poorest 20% less than 4%.
Have 74% of all telephone lines, the poorest 20% have 1.5%.
Consume 84% of all paper, the poorest 20% consume 1.1%.
Own 87% of the world’s vehicle fleet, the poorest 20% less than 1%.

sick Diseases are also not equally distributed among different populations.
54% of the poorest billion die of communicable diseases. For the richest billion this percentage is 10%.

Each day in the developing world, 30,500 children die from preventable diseases such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infections and malaria. Malnutrition is associated with over half of those deaths.

Malaria, which now affects 45% of the world’s population, is likely to affect 60% by the middle of this century due to global warming.
These diseases are directly related to the developed world inordinate consumption and to the third world debt.


STATE OF THE WORLD TODAY:

state of the world today 900 million women in developing countries live in poverty. The feminization of poverty is a growing phenomenon. Women are still the poorest of the world's poor, representing 70% of the 1.2 billion people who live in absolute poverty.
When nearly 900 million women have incomes of less than $1 a day, the association between gender inequality and poverty can’t be more obvious.
Women work two-thirds of the world's working hours, produce half of the world's food, and yet earn only 10% of the world's income and own less than 1% of the world's property.

Lack of food and money is pushing people into risky situations, including young girls and women who resort to sex work or to sexual relationships in order to obtain food and money.
The males usually turn to drug dealing, robbery and similar crimes.

Even more powerless than women are children.
Today, 4 out of 10 African children live below the poverty line on barely $1 a day.

At least 30% have no access to medical services, while more than 40% lack access to safe water.
20% of children in the world do not attend school after fifth grade.
One out of every four African children does not go to school at all.
poverty-children below the povert line 16 African countries have school enrolment rates of less than 60%.
In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 40% of primary school age children, do not even go to school. Literacy rates among adults are as low as 15% in some African countries.
One in four adults in the developing world, almost 800 million people, is illiterate, and the numbers are growing.

Wars are fought in precisely those countries that can least afford them. Of more than 150 major conflicts since the Second World War, 130 have been fought in the developing world.

Current global military spending is almost trillion dollars annually, more than the total income of half of the world’s population.

Less than 1% of the world’s yearly spending on weapons is needed to put every child into school. Yet it didn't happen, and it won't happen in the future also. They do not deserve to suffer until those priorities will change. No one deserves to suffer no matter what his age, gender or species is.

For all too many, life is a continuous struggle against hunger, malnutrition, polluted drinking water, infectious diseases, ignorance, oppression and violent conflicts.

What more do you need to know?
Why are you accepting this cruel, sufferfull world?
Life is not inevitable.
Why should all the world's, so called, weaker layers of society wait until the values reverse?
Why should they wait until suffer becomes prior to profits?
Add the historically and logically based assumption that this order of priorities will never change and it couldn’t get more obvious than that.
