Why me?

This is a story of a tennis player named Arthur Ashe.


In 1975, Ashe won Wimbledon, unexpectedly defeating Jimmy Connors. 


In 1988, Ashe discovered he had contracted HIV during the blood transfusions he had received during one of his two heart surgeries. 


He kept it a secret till in 1992, the news went public.


Many shared his pain,with some even writing him in despair,asking as to why did God choose him of all the people while he had not done anything wrong in his life? 


To this Ashe’s reply was, 


“All over the world some million teenagers aspire to become tennis players. Out of these million may be a hundred thousand reach to some sort of proficiency. Of them only a few thousand play in some circuit and only a hundred or so play the grand slam. Finally only two reach the final of Wimbledon. When I was standing with the trophy of Wimbledon in my hand I never questioned God “Why Me?” 


And now what right do I have to ask God “Why Me?”


 Ashe died in 1993.
