“What's done can't be undone.”

William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

Once something has happened, you can't go back and change it. Imagine you accidentally drop a glass and it breaks. No matter how much you want to fix it, the glass will stay broken. You can clean up the pieces, but the original glass is gone forever. This idea can be applied to actions and words in life, too. If you make a mistake or say something hurtful, you can't erase it, but you can try to make things right. It’s important to think carefully before you act, because some consequences are permanent.
