The sound of one hand clapping


In my point of view, the explanation for “The sound of one hand clapping” has both logical and philosophical undertones. Logically, it is impossible to hear the sound of one hand clapping provided the hand belong to one person. To hear the sound of one hand clapping, it must involve different persons or at least, one hand and another object which can be any part of human body, wall, musical instrument etc. For instance, to strike another person in terms of greeting each other that is also a sound of one clapping hand to each individual. This hand is also clapped in the approval of a business or an agreement made upon by two parties.


Philosophically, this is more of words of the wise that a straight meaning statement that still has some fragments of logic in it. The meaning of such statement varies depending on how and where it is used. It can be negativity or positivity. It is said that a tree cannot make a forest, so the same implies that one hand cannot make a clap. Thus sound of one hand clapping can mean uncertainty, unfortunate, impossibility, absence of unity, self-centeredness and difficulty.  Sometimes sound of one hand clapping can mean glorious thing. It can be used in the event of single-handed achievements such as the single handed achievements of scientific heroes like Galilie Galieo, Newton, Lenz, Hertz, Nicolas Otto and the rest of them. This is my opinion may be there are some valid explanations that can be brought forward.
