Expressions of disapproval are on a level of vulgarity that cannot be tolerated. The way to express disapproval is to do without applause.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
Callousness and insolence bring to bare unanimous social condemnation, while the simple efforts of politeness are admired; even in those who are otherwise despised.
Applause should be an emotional response to the music, rather than a regulated social duty.
Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There has really never been any progress without it.
To refuse graciously is to confer a favor.
But I found that disappointing people is a good thing, because disapproval is freedom.
Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
You cannot have adoration without being criticized.
Don't give up or give in in the face of patronising ridicule, amused disdain, or being ignored.
To test a modest man's modesty do not investigate if he ignores applause, find out if he abides criticism.
