We all have the power to affect others. We may affect those we know and those we do not even know at all... Without our knowing, we may influence the lives of others in very simple ways Picture Quote #1

In an effort to civilize combat sports, authorities mandated padded gloves and instantly made the sports far more savage. Granted, putting gloves on the hands seems like a nice thing to do.
