OK, lefty here.. I write, draw, doodle etc with my left hand, despite being strapped for a week by my extremely strait laced and highly religious 2nd grade teacher who was completely convinced being left handed was a sign of the devil. My father put a stop to that once I confided in my parents what was happening. The good ole days!
As for sporting, recreational or other activities, I do that mostly right handed. WHY? Left handed tools, sporting equipment, etc., were rare and very hard to come by. It was also partly 'monkey see, monkey do'. You subconsciously emulate what others do.. They say that since a right handed person is controlled by their left brain, only left handed people are in their right mind. However, since language overlaps a lot of things, stereotypes of left handed people aren't very flattering. For example, Latin root for left is 'sinistre', and the French term for left is gauche, so lefties thru the ages have been considered sinsiter, gauche, or devil worshipers
Who sits on the right hand of God? Would you rather be right on or left out? Me? I'd like to have the money to buy a pair of left handed scissors for every 'rightie' in the world out there, then sit back and watch them go out of their left sided minds trying to use them... Am I right, or what? eer, maybe that should be left or what?
