I was added 11/28/1957. At the end of that year, 2,890,572,980 (2.8 billion) human organisms squirming freely on the planet. In 60 years the world is teeming with an additional 5 billion people. In my life the U.S. doubling its population. Most interesting movement in the country populations? United Kingdom, Germany and Russia trending steadiest and plummeting in the rankings. Iran, Turkey, Egypt, combined population more than tripling from 70 to 258 million.

50/50. Half the people are nice, half not so much so or worse. You can’t please everyone. Won’t make everyone happy. Find your niche and live your life, be true to yourself, stand for something. Be passionate. Make a difference. Leave your mark. You little organism you!
