You’ve made your bed, now lie in it

Chi è causa del suo male piange se stesso – He who has created his own evil, cries over the same. Much in the same vein as the English saying ‘you’ve made your bed, now lie in it’, this saying highlights the hypocrisy of someone complaining about a situation they have caused themselves. Complaining about all the garbage on the street, and yet leaving empty soda cans in the gutter? “Chi è causa del suo male piange se stesso.”
