Even before people became aware of handedness,
the dominant hand vs. the non-dominant hand, and
how it relates to your tactile world, being left handed was evil.
Being a leftie was somehow excluding you for being on the right-side of God.
This happened in many societies and with many Gods
going back to the dawn of consciousness.
Many recent generations may have gone through parents forcing
a “south-paw” to switch to the other team under duress.
(i.e. Beat the left handedness out of them.)
I know it happened in my family yet one of my siblings didn’t
understand the memo and remained steadfast in his “evil ways”
I on the other hand… think I was “convinced to redeem myself”.
Now we have studies to prove that forcing the issue creates other life altering
issues in those that were coerced to switch hit at such a young age.
I would go into that but it’s a conversation that could
easily get out of hand and best saved for another day.
At least now most people don’t worry about such things
and thankfully this practice has changed.
Lefties have Rights too!
