Default How to reflect on getting knocked out on first hand of a tournament?

I'm on vacation this week so I'm playing a few live tournaments to kill the time. Monday night got to 8th out of 46 players and got knocked out on a bad beat, only top 5 were paid.

Today got knocked out during the first hand of the tournament. It was a bad beat again and it was so shocking to me (not because of the suckout, but because we just started and the very last hand I played was the bad beat from the night before).

Anyways, what is a way to try to put a positive light on this situation? I'm glad I was dumbfounded because I felt like saying something very mean to the individual who beat me. Is there anything positive to take away from this or should I just let time make me (hopefully) forget?

In case you're intersted in the hand in question: the player in 3rd position (out of 10) limped in, I was in 4th position and raised 4 times the BB with QQ. Everyone folded back to the player to my right who called. Flop came Q62 with 2 diamonds, the opponent checked to me and I bet 4 times the BB again after thinking for a moment. Opponent then went all in and I called. He turned over 10,7 of diamonds and rivered his flush to knock me out of the tournament on the first hand. It was a 2 table tournament which was projected to last about 1.5 hours which might explain his bet, but he had to know he was far behind already.
