Thanks, Probir. I believe in disabled sports. I believe that everyone has the entitlement to do exercise and sport, and that disabled people are no different. We don't want to be either, so people like the managers of sports centres should offer better facilities in their sports centres and folks in everyday life should be more hesitant to suggest god, prayer and faith healing as happinesses and remedies for your life rather than suggesting that, for example, swimming once a week will improve your life and bring happiness and enjoyment. My daily exercise routine is cool and I don't want to change it for a quiet time or any such daily religious inspection. Doing something with your body everyday works for me, and not a nervous self-reflection in which you truly just contemplate your navel but claim to be saying your morning prayers to god and reading your morning bible. Do sports for your purports, not a quiet time for your repetitive rhyme! Thanks. Rhoda
