... Burning Bridges

Closing out this season with a fire topic! Burning Bridges. What does it mean to burn bridges?

The idiomatic phrase "burn bridges" means the inability to revert to an earlier state or position. In other words, "burning your bridges" implies being forced to continue with a specific course of action, with no point of return or the provision to reinstate the original.

The thing you may want to restore to its earlier position could be a relationship or situation. In interpersonal relationships, "burning bridges" means having alienated someone for good. Besides relationships, other things that can have their "bridges burnt" include "path", "reputation", "connections", and "opportunities".

Generally, the bridges that get burnt or the connections, relationships, etc., that get wrecked are done intentionally, usually rooted in hubris and/or ignorance.

However, is it okay to burn bridges you created and no longer want any attachments to/with? Personally, I believe, some bridges are meant to be burnt for better establishing and/or detachment. I don't mind burning bridges, b***h, I can swim. Although this is the last episode of Season 1, join us back for Season 2, Sunday @ 7:00 PM CST.
