UNIQUE MYTH - LEFT-HANDED AND ITS NEGATIVE MYTHS

Myth is everywhere in this world. People tend to believe in myth before understanding the reality behind certain things and look it in a scientific way.

Everything takes time to think in logical way, human often prefer believing the myths and superstitious way before switching their thinking skills in upper level, to the truth.

The one of unique myth i discovered was myth about left-handed. Ridiculous i can say. The most major negative superstitious believe was left-handed themed bad luck and evil, devil worshiping madness. The devil was linked with left-handed for centuries. For example, in 1431 Joan Arc was found guilty of being witch and burned at the stake. The depictions showing her as a left-handed, makes her appear more evil in the eye of the people.

Besides, the myth also states that left-handed people are clumsy and awkward especially in using simple tools. The fact is all the tools are designed for the comforts of right-handed community. Thus, left-handed people undergo difficulties to these adaptations.

Thirdly, the myth said that the life expectancy of left-handed people is less than right handed people. But soon research busted this myth that there is no concrete evidence to support this major difference in life expectancy. But they are more prompt to stomach diseases only.

In society especially the tradition followers will see these left-handed habits as a bad omen. To them, holding or giving something with left hand signed bad omen and bad luck. Especially in events that is auspicious.

The reality is there is no such thing as devil traits or bad omen, it’s just in most cases genetic factors plays a big roles. Moreover, exposure to higher level of testosterone to the fetus also could be the factors. It’s not handicap, rather it’s a preference order to comfort .Actually they are more talented. For left-handed people their right brain is controlling their act more. Well right hemisphere of brain is well known for artistic function, such as music, art, perception and such others creative modes.

Well the thing is it’s interesting. This is because here imagination and deep prediction plays a big role. Think in a positive way, ancient people really had twisted their brain to figure out and of course to create such amazing myths until it’s brought upon till this century. Fascinating it seems, but do not believe all the myths blindly especially when comes to offensive to people.
