The first thing we should consider when it comes to this topic is thinking about sounds in general. A sound makes sense…either they warn us from things that are happening around us, for example an earthquake or an accident, they show emotions , we can hear people cry or laugh and our whole communication would not work the way it works without any sound.
Sounds are attached to situations and without them they would not be complete. So, what is the sound of one hand clapping, and what is the sense and sound of two hands clapping? Clearly there is no sound of one hand clapping, because the situation is not complete. We clap to show somebody respect, to honor someone for the great work he or she did or we clap if we are happy about something. If a room is full of people and they are all clapping, the room is full of energy, its full of Happiness and Joy.
The noise or sound of the clapping creates that energy and atmosphere, without it would not exist. The sound of one hand clapping is complete silence, it cannot make people feel honored and it cannot create any kind of energy or atmosphere. So, it makes sense that there is no sound, because only the sound of two hands clapping fulfills a sense.
People need silence sometimes, too much noise is not healthy and we cannot think straight anymore but complete silence is a sound of death or disaster. No positive feelings are attached to the sound of one hand clapping. And that is why there is no sound of one hand calpping.
