I am left-handed simply because all the important things I do with my left hand. I don't do this while eating though, my mother never set the table different for me and I got used to the fork in my left hand and the knife in my right. I do like to hold my spoon in the left hand though. Also, here I am using the mouse with my right hand...eh go figure. But I feel that my right hand is weaker and generally less skillful with most tasks than my left - so that's a good way to define if you're lefty or righty.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
