Remember the Fifth DImension song -
"One less bell to answer, one less egg to fry." The title means that
"with someone leaving your life, you now have less responsibility or obligation to attend, signifying a reduction in daily chores or demands placed upon you. In the context of a relationship ending, you have associated relief from having to cater to someone else's needs. Let's examine further...
One less bell to answer
This refers to not having to answer the doorbell anymore, implying that someone is no longer required to be available to greet visitors or deal with interruptions.
One less egg to fry
This is a metaphor for a small, mundane task that needs to be done regularly, like cooking an egg for breakfast. "
Ok, this should be a relief; right? You have more time for you! Me time! Yea! You don't have to worry about the tasks of helping someone else. You can jump for joy … if this is what you wanted. You are free! You are relieved. But as the lyrics in the Fifth Dimension' song continues, "Why are you crying?" Alright, now you are alone; you feel empty. Sometimes, what we think we want is not the solution. We should carefully think. Things have to be sought out, before moves are made … as the emptiness and loneliness may not be the answer either. It can be a conundrum. It's a tough call, but one that must be figured out when one's happiness is on the line. Is the answer - One less or one more? Only you can decide!
