Simplified Meaning:
It's much simpler to reveal a secret than to try to keep it hidden again once it's out. Imagine you accidentally tell a friend's surprise party; it’s nearly impossible to make everyone forget about it. This saying highlights how sometimes, once information is spilled, it's out there and can't be taken back. In daily life, this can apply to the importance of being careful with what you say. For instance, if you tell someone’s private information, you can't undo it, so it's best to think before speaking. In general, it encourages mindfulness about sharing information that might not be yours to share.
