Summary

In this quote, the act of clapping is described with a unique twist. The narrator distinguishes between two types of clapping: one commonly used to encourage others to applaud those in higher positions, and another characterized by genuine enthusiasm. The latter, which is described as "worse," implies that despite its genuine nature, there may be some underlying negative or unsettling aspect to it. This quote challenges our expectations of clapping, suggesting that genuine enthusiasm in certain situations can be unsettling or worrisome in some way.
