I can guarantee you that by reading this, you'll feel so happy about being alive and not having these/most of these issues to deal with. (

However ... I'm confused. I know this was published more than two years ago, but I'd like to know where most of this data came from.
For example, using Wolfram|Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com), we may easily discern that the current amount of people over 15 who are illiterate (cannot read) is actually only 725 million.
The other stats I'm honestly not sure of; though I assume that they may be inaccurate as well.
This poster, while effective, would certainly, in my opinion be more effective with accurate statistics.
Thanks for sharing this awesome piece.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
The poster comes in English. That means that if you can read the poster, you can read in English. But if you don't know how to read in English, you can't read the poster. Since the poster tells you that you're fortunate if you can read the message, does that mean that you're not fortunate if you don't know English even if you know how to read in any other language?
The message is wonderful, but I'd feel terrible if I didn't try to help you make it accurate.

Your other posters are also really good. I'm looking at this one: [link] and I can't give you enough thumbs up! It's pathetic how much the media has perverted our sense of being, isn't it?
