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 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 lean professional tennis, 50,000 come to circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 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?"
