My whole life I've been right handed. My poor left has been treated as a second class citizen for too long now. When I was growing up I had a friend who claimed to be ambidextrous.. it didn't mean much at the time because we were 7, but since then I looked up what it means and realized that while I may have a natural tendency toward my right hand, there's no real reason why I can't use my left just as good. My body parts are too independent and out of sync where there should be equality and balance. Something I'm always preparing for is the event that I lose something: an arm, leg, vision, hearing... So starting tomorrow for one week I'm changing everything up. My right hand will have to endure what my left has gone through these many years and my left will be treated to a position of high authority, taking care of writing, brushing teeth, and all the rest. Maybe in 8 days my left and right will have a better understanding of eachother's plight and share the workload bringing that hard to find balance to the community that is my body parts.
