> A person is involved - heaven Forbid  - in a serious car accident. He comes
out alive but he is baned-up badly and has broken bones, contusions,
bruises, etc.

> He benches Gomel for his very Life that has been spared
Yet he still davens for a REFUAH SHLEIMA in order to be restored to total
health.

> If he remains complacent he will be a grateful cripple
If he becomes completely  unappreciative and dissatsified, he may grow into
a bitter - albeit healed, survivor.
The trick is to Thank HKBH for what He has already done for him and yet to
still ask for more.

Perhaps this is why it's worded "sameach," "happya" b'chelko, and not "satisfied" (merutseh?) b'chelko?
