Is Humanity Polarising?

After writing my blog last week about the inspiring attitude of the Palestinian and Israeli parents, and feeling uplifted by their attitude, I was sent an article about one of the fastest growing sports in the US amongst children - called Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)  I found it so distressing that I've pondered for a week about whether to blog or not about it...but decided to go ahead...So what is it all about?    It's a sport where two children are put in a metal cage to fight each other - some as young as five years old - and it's popular on television.

This is so barbaric on so many levels, it speaks for itself. To me,it's promoting sub animal behaviour in the young with parents and adults encouraging it.

It makes me ask the question - Is Humanity polarising?  Some trying so hard to mindfully bring more kindness, understanding and compassion into society and others who mindlessly career towards cruelty and barbarism?

If so, then every kind act, every mindful decision each one of us makes really counts towards what sort of world we live in, what sort of life we are building.
