If you are a Lefty, then Left Handers Day is just for you!
The world is built for right handers. In school, have you ever seen a left handed desk? They don't exist. Many left handed items cost more. The computer mouse is designed for right handers. Scissors for right handers. Only a lefty would understand this.
But do you know that right handed people operate in the left side of the brain. Left handed people use the right side. Therefore, only left handed people are in their right mind.
Left Handers certainly earned the right to have a day special for them. This special day was first declared and celebrated on Friday, August 13, 1979 by an organization called Lefthanders International. They chose to open their business on that day to address the myths and misconceptions about left-handers. They published a magazine for left-handers and they sold left-handed products for more than twenty years before going out of business a few years ago. The holiday is celebrated annually on the 13th of August.
But Left-handers Day is not merely a celebration of the creative superiority of lefties, it also aims at raising awareness of the difficulties presented by a right-handed world. This is a day for left-handers to show their pride and pay tribute to famous left-handers past and present, including some of our greatest artists, athletes and entertainers. Furthermore, this day is to praise the creativity and talents of those left-handers who are less famous but equally productive members of our society.
So take a minute to appreciate your left handed friends and loved ones. Don't forget to send them a Left Handed Day E-card to show your respect. Remember that "Lefties have rights!"
