The evening was a glamorous affair and a huge success. All has gone as planned. She danced her heart out and knows for a fact that the rest of the cast also did. No one made a mistake. The performance was impeccable. Her heart was thumping as the curtains rose. Disappointment fell like a black cloak over her. The whole audience was clapping with one hand.
Have you ever thought of what it might sound like if you applaud with only one hand clapping?
In my mind it will sound hollow, not at all like clapping is supposed to sound. It will sound like a half-hearted attempt, a failure, alone and miserable. This might be what the dancer felt of her performance when the audience was only clapping with one hand.
I feel that the whole idea of clapping is like teamwork between the two hands. Without each other, they will make a very hollow sound. It will not be as successful as the sound of two hands clapping.
It is the same in our lives. We cannot make a success if we rely only on ourselves. We need to work in a team, be it a team of two people or a team of 50 people, but without each other we will not be successful. We need each other. Instead of struggling by yourself, ask someone for their opinion or help. If you are stuck at a certain point in your life or in your work, ask advice.
Rather be two hands clapping and making a beautiful sound, than one hand making the sound a complete failure.
Interesting angle. I agree with you. We need each other. Things will get done so much easier if we work well in teams. Everyone has their own skills and talents.
