World Status Today

Many of us consider our species, the human beings, as very intelligent, because we achieved a significant influence on the planet we live on. We subdued other living beings and we manipulate our planet as we see it fit. But how does the world status really look like if we have a look at some essential aspects of human life?

The fast majority of all human beings live in very harsh conditions and are struggling for survival: They 1. live in a conflict zone, 2. have been displaced, 3. lack safe drinking water, 4. face hunger, 5. breathe toxic air, 6. lack safe sanitation and/or 7. are vulnerable to climate change. While the struggle for survival affects mostly people in poorer countries, people in wealthier countries are struggling more with heavy 8. physical and 9. mental disorders. Many people around the world struggle with 10. loneliness and 11. the vast majority has sleep disorders of some kind.

About this Website

We often felt a tremendous discrepancy between the prevalent human understanding of being the “crown of creation” and the reality on this planet. A tremendous discrepancy between the omnipresent idea of “progress” and the observation of what is going on. An indefinite discrepancy between overconfident human ambitions – like conquering space and living forever - and the harsh realities like war&conflict, expulsion and hunger and the failure of the vast majority of humans to live a healthy and happy life. It seemed to us that most human beings are even struggling with very basic existential things like eating healthy or sleeping well. Not to talk of all the epidemic sicknesses and mental damages which are haunting us. Thus we once wanted to collect some facts and re-share them.

May you find inspiration on this website to think deeply, may you find peace of mind.
