One should not lament individually for a sorrowful incident that concerns an entire community. Instead of indulgence in grief when it comes, one should try to avert it and apply a remedy as soon as he finds the opportunity for doing it.
न जानपदिकं दुःखमेकः शोचितुमर्हति। अशोचन् प्रतिकुर्वीत यदि पश्येदुपक्रमम्॥
