Why Me?

August 20th 2007 13:57

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"

To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grandslam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, and 2 to the finals. When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD :"Why me?"
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD: "Why me?"
