There's nothing to do about nothing.

Nothing can, but nothing won't be there for you
It isn't really that something can't be done about nothing
It's that no one cares to do it

There's a funny little saying I remind myself of every now and then
It goes something like

I can do it; I can do anything; I cannot fail.

It's never actually voiced like this, of course.
Rather, it exists primarily as a sort of mantra that pops up during a particularly hard workout or when my fingers get sore practicing a tricky run; it replaces lost strength from within.

I think it's extremely important that each of us has a mantra or mindset that we can fall back on when we need to.

If not, we fall back on nothing, and we've stated already that nothing has no reason whatsoever to help you or to break your fall

Nothing will simply dissolve and reappear elsewhere, having already forgotten your cry.

But there's nothing to do about nothing.

Yet.
