According to the theory of left-brain or right-brain dominance, each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. ... For example, a person who is "left-brained" is often said to be more logical, analytical, and objective. A person who is "right-brained" is said to be more intuitive, thoughtful, and subjective.Jul 7, 2017
The Right Brain
According to the left-brain, right-brain dominance theory, the right side of the brain is best at expressive and creative tasks. Some of the abilities popularly associated with the right side of the brain include:

  • Recognizing faces
  • Expressing emotions
  • Music
  • Reading emotions
  • Color
  • Images
  • Intuition
  • Creativity

The Left Brain


The left-side of the brain is considered to be adept at tasks that involve logic, language, and analytical thinking. The left-brain is described as being better at:
  • Language
  • Logic
  • Critical thinking
  • Numbers
  • Reasoning

I Googled the above, and will use it to express my own thoughts on the matter. 

As with all languages, whether expressed verbally or visually, all is about communication. The details of meaning lie in the nitty gritty of conception, the choice, structure, and expression rendered by the individual, and perceived by the listener(s).  i.e. meaning is determined by the receiver's interpretation during their personal exchanges. 

Generalization is the middle ground established by those who set out to define the parameters of meaning, in order to define the measurement and boundaries to which, when in doubt, everyone can agree upon.  i.e. 'kill' literally means to eliminate the life force of an entity's earthly existence.  'killing' someone with kindness, although now meaning something entirely the opposite, initially literally meant that. It had been seen that an Ape squeezed its young borne so hard with fond loving, it actually killed it.   

So taking the above separation of Left versus Right brain literally, without exceptions, would be foolish. However, in a generalized fashion, for the sake of argument, on the whole it bares truth. As such, of the two types, I clearly belong in the Right Brain category. I am an idea man, a doer, outgoing, an extrovert. I tend to be loud, and jovial. My background is in the Theatre and Film Business. To a fair number of people I am too much 'in their face.' I don't do it on purpose; it's who I am - an Aries!

This then takes me to my present quandary, and the inability, so far, to find a solution, a working balance to what I am still seeking to accomplish. And it lies in my dealings with Left Brain humans.   

For these past number of years, and expressed through this Blog, I have been battling mostly Left Brain oriented people. Judges, Lawyers, Web Developer Coders. Most all are analytical *  
* analytical |ˌanəˈlidik(ə)ladjectiverelating to or using analysis or logical reasoning: analytical methods | a suave, analytical type who missed his calling as a lawyer.
I take umbrage with two areas ascribed to Left Brainers: 'Critical Thinking' and 'Reasoning.' As if Right Brainers can't reason sensibly and coherently. Or that they are incapable of 'Critical Thinking'?

WHAT is critical thinking anyway? Like right brainers may be ready to jump of a cliff to their death? They don't perceive the 'critical' aspect of the fact the jump's distance might kill them?  Are they somehow 'handicapped' and less able to survive? They generally have shorter lives? Cause they tend to live life, outgoing,  to the full?   

HMMM, I mull..... some critical room for thought and re-interpretation?
