Simplified Meaning:
Once something is done, it cannot be changed or undone. Imagine writing a letter to a friend. Once you send it, you cannot take back the words you've written. Similarly, in life, our actions and words are like writing in a book. After we do something, we can't go back and erase it. It's like making a mistake in a test, and once you hand it in, you cannot fix that mistake. This teaches us to think carefully before we act or speak because we can't change the past, only learn from it and move forward. Applied to daily life, it means making wise choices and accepting the consequences of our actions.
