"Three Legs" Anderson's definitions
Reassurance that comes from the suffering of others. Distinct from schadenfreude, which implies that this suffering confers pleasure. From a compound of German words: Schaden=suffering, Beruhigung=comfort
I was feeling bad about the fact that I don't have any shoes, but then I met someone with no legs. Talk about schadenberuhigung!

Get the Schadenberuhigung mug.
