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 -- 5 crore children start
playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the 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?"
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....
Keep Going.....

That one paragraph can be used to explain a lot of things: The failures of public education. Sloppy spelling. A mind like a sieve.
What's the hurry? Take your time and get it right before you post.

Doesn't explain life... It just gives you a very deep insight into the psyche of a man who understood his life and is looking at death straight to the eye.

yeah i think it can. people are so quick to blame god for the bad things that happen in their lives but they aren't as quick to give him the credit for the good things. our emotions control who we are but it is god that makes us that way and keeps us going strong.

this made me give thanks to God. we are all blessed. everything happens for a reason, and it takes an open minded person to see things in this perspective. so, WHY ME? I don't know. but i do know this.....this paragraph has been a blessing to me. thankx
