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 all over the world , 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:
"All over the world
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 Grand Slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to the semi finals,
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?"
