The antithesis of right and left extends beyond al physical implications into the domain of moral, social, and religious values as well. In the Old Testament story, King Solomon places his mother in the seat of honor at his right side; and early Christian theologians designated the right side in heaven as the superior sphere, while the left side was given a lower evaluation. The Gospel of Matthew, in explaining how the good are to be separated from the evil on the Day of Judgment says, "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." It is not unnatural that the right and left developed similar meanings on mundane levels asa well, and that these have taken on an endless accretions in popular attitudes no less than in superstitions. To start off on the left foot brings back luck; a buzzing in the right ear is a good omen, and a twitch of the right eye is believed to bring praise and money. Thus we find the "honorable" right and the "evil" left becoming the "lucky" right and the "unlucky" left. These associations of right and left provide information for handwriting analysts. Lisa M.
