Single handed applause
Do you ever get tired of the single handed applauses? Humility dictates that they're not to be discussed, but first I should probably explain what I'm calling a single handed applause actually is.
A single handed applause (SHA) is something we give ourselves when we know we've done something outstanding and nobody else ever acknowledges it, for whatever reason. I think the tv show called Seinfeld based a good portion of its content on single handed applauses. They were what most of George Castansa's character was based on. A great example is when he puts a tip in the tip jar at the takeout counter, they always seem to look away as he's adding his tip, which usually consists of paper, so it's not going to be sending any kind of auditory announcement. Its a good deed that he performed but he's the only one who knows about it.
Please dont make the mistake of conveniently misunderstanding the point of this post just to use it as a lighting rod for your lesson about whatever higher level of consciousness you want us all to believe you maintain. Let me save you the time by saying that I understand the gift of giving is its own reward. I get it. In fact, I get it so much that I never lend anyone in need money. If they need it and I have it to give, I give it with no expectations of ever seeing it again, and I've learned that it's a good idea to make that understood from the beginning if you value that connection. If someone thinks they owe you and they've made no effort to repay you, their guilty conscience might be what ruins that connection.
Back to my point..
Theres another event where the SHA is likeky to occur. It happens a lot for me here on this site. ..on most sites with comment sections actually. ..except for sites like quora and reddit that make defending your point "illegal" to site policies. It seems like they prefer the strong to appear weak and the weak to appear strong. Maybe it's their way of making up for all the past bullying, never understanding that it's always the bully who's weakest, even if they appear to be the strongest
A lot of my SHA moments are buried deep inside shallow threads. Im one of those types who feel the need to keep replying until there's nothing to reply to. I'm also a creative thinker, so i usually think of most things from many perspectives. It's a natural process for me and it serves me well when needed. It serves me well when not needed too. It makes me totally understand why the right to remain silent is so important and why forfeiting that right only favors those who cause you to defend your personal freedom on the first place. ..those would be the ones reminding you of that specific right to remain silent. The funny thing is that they act like it's something they're giving you and didnt exist until your freedom was at stake. Damn! I've got so much more to say about this subject, but for now, it reminds me why i have so many SHA moments on social media..
I NEVER STICK TO THE FUQN SUBJECT, UNLESS IT'S TO WRITE EVERY FUQN MINUTE DETAIL OF IT. My posts and comments tend to run long. Nobody reads much more than the 180(?) characters originally granted by twitter. ...unless of course its written about them. If it's all good, they'll likely read the whole thing but far too busy to reply with much more than a 3 emoji combo. If you want a long detailed reply, you have to be insulting, or correcting them. If you want them to read the whole comment, put the insult at the end. You can insult the shit out of a person but they will likely quit reading after the first insult and reply to it right away. You might want to disagree with me. I'm ok with that. But i really wish you coukd disprove me. I really do.
See? I tried to get back on point and i still drifted. Many of my SHA moments occur because I'm the only one who ever reads what i write. If you're still reading this, and have the time to do so, please give an example of some of your SHA moments. My latest one happened today or yesterday when I replied to a comment on a song i shared here. I reread it when i came back here just now and i really liked how it flowed and how it would've been funny in person due to all the right tonage and mannerisms, but not connected to the subject that connected me to it. ..it would've been a mic drop moment after the first sentence, but the way it reversed the situation had a nice flow to it. When i felt I was in control of their comment, I didn't "twist the blade." Instead, I described a situation we all appreciate but never talk about maybe because we never noticed how much we appreciate moments like that. I feel that there might be some grey area for some people, but it will all be understood the next time one of those events occurs.
I finish with what could be considered a humble brag, which it most certainly is not, however, it's along the lines of one. I will admit that freely. If i could clean any of that comment up, it would be at the end, to make it more understood about breaking even.
