Another old one revised today.
I love that. It reminds me of what the author of Ecclesiates wrote in Eccl. 7:2-4 (KJV):

.....It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
.....Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
.....The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
