It is a wonderful world
I was listening to the great song by Louis Armstrong, It’s a Wonderful World and I thought it is not only the beauty of the world expressed in the lyrics below that makes this a wonderful world.
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying how do you do
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes
I was looking at the increase in life expectancy around the world and came across the following chart. This chart is the World historical and predicted total life expectancy at birth (1950–2050)
Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB): total World population: 71.4 years
Total male: 69.1 years, female: 73.8 years
Years LEB Years LEB
1950–1955 47.9 2000–2005 67.2
1955–1960 49.3 2005–2010 69.1
1960–1965 51.2 2010–2015 70.8
1965–1970 55.5 2015–2020 72.0
1970–1975 58.1 2020–2025 73.0
1975–1980 60.3 2025–2030 73.8
1980–1985 62.1 2030–2035 74.7
1985–1990 63.7 2035–2040 75.5
1990–1995 64.6 2040–2045 76.2
1995–2000 65.7 2045–2050 77.0
As you see it is a wonderful world because even with the pandemic, our life expectancy as a race is going up. So, children born in 2020 to 2025 can expect to live until they are 73. Bear in mind that this is an average for the world. There will be countries where life expectancy at birth is higher than 73 and countries where the life expectancy at birth is lower. But since 1950 life expectancy has grown on average 24.1 years. This speaks to the advances we have made worldwide, in medicine, infant mortality and understanding of what we need to do to live longer. It is truly a wonderful world.
