It’s no use crying over spilt evils. It’s better to mop them up laughing.

It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.
William Somerset Maugham
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Joni Mitchell
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now.Jack (musician) Johnson
The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g., some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
And then he lay there in his fever of sorry and repeated the now memorized note in his head and wanted to cry, but instead he only felt this aching behind his solar plexus. Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something.
