The left hand

Everybody needs friends someone  to help them, someone that is LITERALLY always there when needed.I want to talk about a friend who has fulfilled all these requirements but has been discriminated against possibly my whole life and considered bad in my place of worship as a Hindu in the temple. That friend is called my left hand. Yes, I know this story you readers will find laughable. But I want to talk about a sad truth, and that being left handed is considered being a sin in some parts of the world. The left hand was good friend of mine and still is. It writes my tests for me, It feeds me whenever I'm hungry , It wipes tears of joy and sadness, It even now started manuvering my mouse for me now that I know how to make the computer mouse friends with it.  But the problem is that same friend of mine " the left hand" is considered a sin in India and not permitted to do anything except wipe butts and is considered to be unclean. Why is my friend accused of being unclean? because of "CUSTOMS" Unclean is not usage of the left hand, unclean is the dirt that rots in people's mind who claim to be humans and yet they blindly follow tradition. Unclean is the rotten filth that those people pass from one person to the next telling the people that my friend (left hand) is a symbol of shame.  Unclean is the refusal to admit that change is a remedy for previous errors Why else of course would people be asked to give take and eat things with right hand even in November 10,2013.  Problem is nobody but me ever stands up for it.  For who would because everyone's friends with the right hand which is looked to represent greatness tradition,  everything that my friend the left hand has shown but not to be acknowledged. My friend is like a shadow in India only to be used when its  partner ( the right hand) needs help carrying things or to just stay by the side like it's dead or invisible. For what does visibility matter when existence is not even being acknowledged. This is like a world where people tell you who you should talk to and who you should avoid. India is the world, right hand is the friend people want you to be around, left hand is the friend who people are told to avoid.
