Is it true that left-handed people are smarter? Unfortunately, the reality is not so rosy and even a bit tragic

Are left-handed people really smart?

A friend was in a relationship and asked a few people out. I guessed he was going to get drunk and asked everyone to stay with him. To my surprise, when we arrived at his house, he was stable, even calm, just a normal person. While chatting with everyone over tea, he only mentioned that he had lost his love, "I have given up on my life". After hearing that, we consciously stopped talking about it.

As I was going to the toilet, I saw a book on the table with three big words: "Break up". When I saw this, I knew he wasn't pretending to be literary. So I borrowed the book from him and got a good understanding of what a breakup is.

Separation is a popular concept in recent years. Those who haven't understood it will think that giving up means throwing away the extra stuff. I feel the same way. However, after really understanding detachment, I realized that detachment is not so superficial.

The book Shedding advances layer by layer, telling us what shedding is, why we can't, why we must, and how it works. Finally, it explains how shedding affects us. It even teaches us how to do it, how to sort it out.

Shedding should really be about cutting off materialism, giving up waste, and getting rid of the obsession to "leave". From these three points, we can know that the "things" outside the body only account for one, while the "desires" and "thoughts" account for two-thirds, so the focus is on the mind and thoughts. Packing up one's home and throwing away useless things is indeed part of the process of dismantling one's house, and the first step towards dismantling one's house. But renunciation is a kind of thinking, metabolic and aesthetic thinking. When you have a transcendent heart, your life will benefit too, from your actions to your thoughts, you will be refreshed.

There are several reasons why we can't give up, such as being too lazy to tidy up and not wanting to; like throwing it away; and when you think it will come in handy one day. Although these are three different types of people with three different ideas, I believe that most people have two or three ideas mixed in.

The five methods described in the book are the three-part method, the seven-one method, the one-out-one-in method, the one-touch method, and the self-sustaining and self-reliant method. With so many options, there is no reason for you to say, "None of these methods work for me. If you do think that, then I am sorry, you don't need to waste your time. Looking at something you don't agree with or simply don't want to implement is a waste of expression.

It's easier for you to start and finish the first step. After all, giving up the external "thing" is just an action, you can do it if you want to. But for the heart, for the mind, you may be able to sort it out for a while, but it's not so easy to understand it. That's why you need to keep organizing, reviewing, and understanding in depth in this way.

A room is like a life, there is a connection between the two. Cleaning your room is like clearing your mind and uncluttering your heart. Small linings are big, and when we can tidy our rooms, it is just an intervention point in our tidying up our lives. The book will point them all out for us. The author says, "Tearing down a house is more than just getting rid of waste. It has the power to make life new." The author also says, "Detaching yourself from your house is not simply a matter of disposing of clutter and throwing away waste, but of meeting the cycle of life in the river of human growth with a sense of closure."

I recently went to a friend's house. When I first arrived at his house, he was teaching his children their homework. He seemed a bit agitated and in a bad mood. I seemed a bit embarrassed. However, when my friend saw me, he calmed down and came out of his child's room, and went into the living room to chat with me over a cup of tea.

"Isn't it said that left-handed people are smarter? Why is this child not necessarily smarter? Some people help with homework and can't write well." There is helplessness in his tone. "Kids these days seem to have a hard time doing their homework, but where did you hear that left-handed people are smarter?" On the internet, many celebrities are also left-handed ." After listening to him, I thought I'd better study science with him.

Left-handedness is also called left-handedness. It is a person who is used to using his left hand to handle various things in daily life. For example, writing with a pen, eating with chopsticks, opening doors, unscrewing bottle caps, and so on. There is also the dominant hand in sports, holding a racket with the left hand and throwing objects with the left hand. The use of the feet can also be divided into the habit of using the left or the right foot. When jumping or starting to run, some people habitually use their left foot.

A person with a dominant left hand and a non-dominant left foot cannot strictly speak and be said to be left-handed. But it seems that what we call a left-handed person today is someone who is used to using his left hand. Even if we just say that they use their left hand, there are still many people who do not reach this title nowadays. This is because many people are not exactly left-handed. The strength of the right hand is often greater than that of the right hand, so some movements are right-handed even if they are left-handed. In addition, some lefties are forced to change their dominant hand use for some things.

Sometimes I suddenly realize that some of my classmates are left-handed. My first question is "So why do you write with your right hand?" The answer is surprisingly consistent. "My parents and teachers tried very hard to correct me since I was a child." The word "corrected" speaks volumes. It is only when something is wrong that we need to correct it. So being left-handed is the wrong thing for us to do. This is wrong.

The whole world is not kind to left-handed people. One thing to notice is that almost all human inventions are designed to conform to right-handed people, and there have even been cases where left-handed people have been injured using tools that do not conform to them. Up to now, very little has been written about left-handedness, and hardly anyone cares about it. Also, our writing is designed along the right hand and the writing will follow the stroke order. Left-handed writing is quite fluid and difficult to write with. Instead, letters are more suited to left-handed people, so you will find many foreigners writing with their left hands.

This seems to be an idea that has been around since the beginning of time, but now people are better informed than before, so they don't feel the "ill will" towards left-handed people as strongly. Left-handedness and right-handedness are really like double eyelids and single eyelids, they are just genetically shaped differently. So it's not a mistake, let alone a disease. However, humans have not yet discovered which gene controls this phenomenon.

So is it true or false that left-handed people are smarter? I am sorry to tell you that there is no data or evidence to prove that left-handed people are smarter. If I were to say that there are more celebrities among left-handed people. Then I'll tell you not to kid me. Humans are either left-handed or right-handed. There are at most three types of people who are ambidextrous and can use both hands. So celebrities must be one of the three. Are there more left-handed celebrities and fewer right-handed celebrities? If you want to compare them, shouldn't the ratio be proportional as well? Or if you think of it this way, does the fact that all the celebrities except the left-handed ones are right-handed and in large numbers prove that right-handed people are smarter? So this cannot be used as evidence that left-handed people are smarter.

There is a theory that the left brain controls the right hand and the right brain controls the left hand. The left brain is mainly responsible for logical reasoning and verbal expression, while the right brain is mainly responsible for spatial and visual thinking. That is why left-handed people are more prominent in art and creativity, and the greater number of left-handed celebrities is related to these two aspects. However, this statement is not necessarily correct. This is because some studies have shown that the division of labor between the left and right brain is not so clear-cut and that it is more a matter of the brains collaborating. The left brain is more concerned with details and the right brain is more concerned with the big picture. The difference is mainly in the way it processes problems, not in its function. So it can't be evidence.

It doesn't matter if you're left-handed or right-handed. It's just different habits, nothing more. On the contrary, because there are more right-handed people, they treat right-handed people as normal and left-handed people as bad people. That is not right. The good thing is that people nowadays don't have too much ill will towards left-handed people. I hope there are more articles for lefties in the future to make life easier for left-handed people!

I think it's a summary of the main points :

1. Left-handedness, also called left-handedness. They are people who are used to using their left hand to handle various things in their daily life. For example, writing with a pen, eating with chopsticks, opening doors, unscrewing bottle caps, and so on. In addition, there is the dominant hand in sports, holding a racket with the left hand and throwing objects with the left hand. The use of the feet can also be divided into the habit of using the left or the right foot.

2. A person with a dominant left hand and a non-dominant left foot cannot strictly speaking be said to be left-handed. But it seems that what we call a left-handed person today is someone who is used to using his left hand. Even if we just say that they use their left hand, there are still many people who do not reach this title nowadays. This is because many people are not exactly left-handed. The strength of the right hand is often greater than that of the right hand, so some movements are right-handed even if they are left-handed. In addition, some lefties are forced to change their dominant hand use in some things.

3. In fact, the whole world is not friendly to left-handed people. One thing to notice is that almost all human inventions are designed to conform to right-handed people, and there have even been cases where left-handed people have been injured using tools that do not conform to them.

4. Our Chinese characters are also designed along the right hand and the writing will follow the stroke order. Writing with the left hand is quite fluid and difficult to write. Instead, letters are better suited to left-handed people, which is why you will find many foreigners writing with their left hands.

5. Is it true or false that left-handed people are smarter? I am sorry to tell you that there is no data or evidence to prove that left-handed people are smarter.

The author covers all aspects, explaining and guiding us step by step. It makes us understand as quickly as possible what it means to break up with someone and also gives us a new way of thinking. This is not something I can say in a few words, so if you are interested, you should read it yourself and experience the beauty of parting.

A final quote from a Buddhist master on the life of a breakup. "Everyone will one day lose what is most precious to them. Almost no one can let go at the most crucial moment. Only through constant contact with how to let go in daily life can one accept troubles, even aging, sickness, and death, with openness."
