My friend Amanda sent me an interesting link recently http://www.perceptions.couk.com/violence.html#frame
from the site:
CAUSES OF MIS-PLACED FEAR OF VIOLENCE
1. The individual is bound to perceive a `worsening’ trend no matter what the real situation is. This arises naturally from increasing sensitivity (fear) as the body ages
People feel more fragile and pessimistic as they sense the aging process themselves
- – -
2. Diarists from Greeks & Pharaohs complained – “youth is ever more disrespectful and violence is increasing.”
If true, today a walk would be messy, w/ tortured & crucified bodies underfoot
- – -
3. Long-term decrease of violence causes increased social sensitivity to violence

Does the evidence point to a decreasing level of violence in society? What do you think? Is street fight / combatives type training becoming redundant?

You have a big dream in your coronary heart to get your communication out to many men and women, and are terrified of the publicity, so you keep oneself a effectively-hidden secret, all the although understanding you could do far more. This is a far also common situation for vulnerable and spiritually-minded men and women, for numerous causes, not the least of which is the fact that the fear of currently being uncovered and even burned (virtually and figuratively) lives in our DNA as strong females!
