Personal symbolism
A handshake can signal welcome, respect, or an agreement, and these scenes emphasize how social position and the condition of the hands change the meaning. If you met a prominent ruler, notice whether you felt included or had to reach beyond your ease; gloves are associated with overcoming rivalry. Shaking hands with those beneath you highlights kindness and benevolence, while soiled hands point to hidden enemies among apparent friends. A handshake with a decrepit older man brings an unexpected problem into a search for amusement.
Questions to reflect on
- Did the handshake feel welcoming, difficult, or deceptive?
- Where might rivalry be affecting your confidence?
- Are kindness or trust being tested in a friendship?
