The sound of one hand clapping


The sound of one hand clapping is the sound of the other hand, the absent or invisible hand that claps because one hand cannot clap, there can only be two hands clapping. One hand cannot clap without the other. The one hand is made complete only by the other, so that even in its individuality, the one hand claps with the other. One cannot praise their own work, but other people are there for that. The sound of one hand clapping is weird, its impossible and most definately not a happy sound.
