A gift, not an affliction

I find it hard to understand why many right handers think being left handed is some kind of handicap. Yes, we have to adapt and survive in a world that's not designed for us, but I see it as a gift - not an affliction.

Left handers - who have a dominant right brain - are more creative, more imaginative, more artistic, more...well, here's a favourite quote of mine which just about sums it up perfectly:


"Left handers are wired into the artistic half of the brain which makes them imaginative, creative, surprising, ambiguous, exasperating, stubborn, emotional, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful, original, and never, never dull.”
From 'The World's Greatest Left Handers' by James T de Kay and Sandy Huffaker
