Point of no return

The "point of no return" refers to a moment when a decision or action has progressed to such an extent that reversing or stopping it becomes extremely difficult or impossible. It often signifies a critical threshold where continuing forward is inevitable, and retreat or change could have severe consequences. This concept is used in various contexts, like aviation (a plane flying so far that it cannot return to its origin without refueling), business, or personal choices, highlighting the importance of careful planning before reaching that irreversible stage.
