[chajin]

In Rome, and other societies of the time, the word for a left handed person signified evil or untrustworthy.

To the best of my knowledge, there are at least two languages where the word for "left (handed)" doesn't have a negative connotation. One is Greek, ἀριστερά aristera, from which the word "aristocrat" comes. The other is Japanese, 左 hidari, which I once read somewhere is a reference, in the original reading (not the kanji character), to the rising sun on one's left when facing south.

****the rising sun on one’s left when facing south***

That’s why I like to face North - and my sun rises on my right:)

True - because I get disoriented very easily.
