The other day I was thinking about it and was surprised to realise how, as you go through life, your perceptions change all the time, until, at some point, they begin to stabilise.
As a child, I learnt that right and left had to do with direction. That was enough for me at that point.
Growing up, and probably under the influence of right and wrong, I began to associate right with good and left with bad.
In my early teens, looking at many right-wing dictatorships, I began to feel that right was wrong and left was right.
Then, as the hideous crimes of left-wing dictatorships became known, I became very confused.
Now, to my mind, right and left are all the same, if you don't mind. In fact, it's all in the mind. Except for direction, of course.
