to still strive for more w/o feeling regret over "What is"
> Health mashal:
> 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.
