One Can'T Un-Ring the Bell

"One Can't Un-Ring The Bell" There has to be at least one dreaded moment where bad actions and words brought a bad spell of regretting deeply what was done and said, try as one may, "One Can't Un-Ring The Bell! In the flash of a hot heated moment the tongue may utter words of fire! Once they've been said there's no taking them back! The damage that's been done will be dire! The same applies to one's actions! With no thought of consequence, one will do! When the air clears the sad aftermath is full of regret and apologies too! One's words and one's actions reveal a great deal! In order to prevent and to quell hurt feelings along with a hurting heart, remember, try as one may "One Can't Un-Ring The Bell!" WTA-IV 4/18/2016

The power of our words and their usage does bear great responsibility! Once it's out there, it is out there! Thank you Charmaine!

Hello Lewis! Once it has left the lips it's out there and the aftermath will be according to what was spoken and then acted out! Thank you!

Charlie, Good day! Thank You Sir! The power of words and actions unfortunately are some times done setting the path to regret!

GUILTY is the tongue for starting fires. The flames will die, but the smoldering embers last. Once spoken, they linger like that ringing bell. Good work, Walter.

Hello and Thank You Lin! We deal with words that either benefit or not, and as you stated, the smoldering embers sometimes last and even sometimes never go out! The smallest member of the human body can cause the most elation or grief! Thank You!

Yes, Walter, there's no going back once words and actions have spoken. Much wisdom in your words to always think ahead. 7, Sandra
