why me?

".....What? shall we receive good

at the hand of God, and

shall we not receive evil?....."

Job 2:10

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player

was dying of AIDS which he got due to

infected blood he recieved during a heart

surgery in 1983.

From the world over, he recieved letters from

his fan, one of them 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 learn

profesional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit,

5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach the

Wimbledon, 4 to semi finals, 2 to finals.

When I was the one holding the cup, I never

asked god "Why me?".

And today in pain, I should not be asking

GOD "why me?".
