value of life

value of 1 European/American life = 10 Asian lives = 100 African lives.

Ferry capsizes in South Korean, Its PM resigns, people all over the world cry for the drowned people. People in my office followed the news and cried. After a month a ferry capsized in Bangladesh - hardly made any news. Nobody cried for Bangladeshis. 200 girls kidnapped in Nigeria makes news after 3 weeks, 1 girl missing in Britain causes news the next day.
Thats the way the world is. Its not others who value us like that, Its how we value ourselves. Bangladeshis or Indians wouldnt even dream that any minister would resign because of a few 1000 deaths. But Koreans did. People cried because people themselves values themselves. We dont value our life,especially poor/rural life. I think 1 urban indian life = 5-10 rural lives.
Even the burden on earth is like wise. 1 UK person is as much a burden on earth as 100 Indians. Heating, Elecricity, food , waste - everything. 1 UK person sucks out 100 times more out of this earth than Indian in everyway. Population of India is alarming! but I think even a slight increase in population in developed nations should be seen with alarm.   Population should be balanced with weights like this from now on.
