Simplified meaning
In life, there are moments when you make a choice that changes everything, and you can't go back to how things were before. It's like crossing a bridge that then falls apart as soon as you step off it. For example, imagine you're competing in a race. Once you hear the starting gun and start running, you can't go back to the beginning and decide not to race. The same thing happens with big decisions, like moving to a new city or starting a new job. Once you commit, you can't return to your old life exactly as it was. Understanding this can help people be more careful with their important choices. It teaches us to think things through before making decisions, as some actions can't be undone.
