can't cross bridges that you burnt...

[under_the_pressure]

This is probably the dumbest post ever, but what does it mean when somebody says, "you can't cross bridges that you burnt." ???

 

I never really knew, heard it today and have been wondering since. Any feedback would be great. 8)

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, it just basically means someone can't go back and redo the past.

think about it. you go accross a bridge and then burn it. how are you going to get back to where you started if you got rid of the bridge?

it means dont say or do things you will regret in regards to your relationships. dont burn your bridges, cuz you never know if you will need to cross it again.

Thanks Smusher. Like I said, it probably was a dumb question, I just never really knew.

 

Thanks again.
