Often when having sleepless nights I read about comparatively unknown religious ideologies, practices and history. While reading some text about Zoroastrianism I came across the following....and really like it. :)
Zoroaster emphasized the freedom of the individual to choose right or wrong and individual responsibility for one's deeds. This personal choice to accept aša or arta (the divine order), and shun druj (ignorance and chaos) is one's own decision and not a dictate of Ahura Mazda. For Zarathustra, by thinking good thoughts, saying good words, and doing good deeds (e.g. assisting the needy or doing good works) we increase this divine force aša or arta in the world and in ourselves, celebrate the divine order, and we come a step closer on the everlasting road to being one with the Creator. Thus, we are not the slaves or servants of Ahura Mazda, but we can make a personal choice to be his co-workers, thereby refreshing the world and ourselves.
On the topic of BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation....you perverts, lol) while sitting on my recumbent bike and pedaling away the hours I watch shows such as "BBC Free Speech", "The Big Questions", "London Thinks", "Question Time" and a few others.
Its really fascinating because compared to the majority of American interview/debate programs, the people there (meaning the UK) all seem educated, intelligent, knowledgeable about the topics and issues, and they rarely interrupt and yell/scream/mock each other. American TV is pretty pathetic. :)
Is there a way for a man to lick you while you're riding the recumbent bike ? If not perhaps a redesign is in order.
