Ring the Bell

Today was my last day of radiation therapy. There is a tradition of ringing a bell to celebrate the end of treatment. But a survey found that those who rang the bell had more distressful memories of their treatment than those who did not.

I didn't plan to ring the bell but wanted to see if the bell sounds good. I took the clapper and tapped it very lightly against the bell, expecting a soft metallic sound. But it rang so loudly! I tried to stop the ringing, but it turns out it's true that you can't unring a bell.
