Should I be grateful because:
A) they didn't shoot me in the head
B) someone else in the world was shot in the head

Let me know if this is a legitimate, normal form of manipulation. Thanks.

    Nope. You shouldn't be grateful.

    Nah, it's manipulation & justification, just like being "grateful" that you got a ticket but at least you weren't arrested. It's an easy mental trap to fall in to. Regardless, in and of itself, it's still a bad situation. Relief is suitable, but not gratitude.

    If I was shot in the arm, I wouldn't be thinking on the bright side. I'd be thinking of how I'm going to get the other person to pay my hospital bills.

    Depends. Was there a spider or something on your arm?
