Arabic Southpaws

I'm a southpaw, a lefty, and other such euphamisms for those naturally inclined towards the right side of the brain. Now, while life is more or less the same for us folk, it does pose a few problems, where handedness can be a disadvantage. For instance, when I was growing up, it was next to impossible to get musical instruments designed for the left hand, and even tougher to find a teacher willling to teach you the wrong way around.
One of the lesser, played down hassles of being a lefty is writing the roman anglo saxon, or even devnagiri script. You see, it's just not designed for lefty's, it's written from left to right, which is something which got me thinking.
See, there exists an entire script subset that writes from right to left. Aramic, Arabic, and Hebrew and their derivatives, which all must share a common background are all written the opposite way around. This lead me to think, why such a thing would have happened, and I also thought about what people would have been writing with in those days, rudimentary ink pens prone to much blottage.

Taking all these factors into account, I came up with a theory of language. Now, when someone is coming up with a script, or pretty much anything in human society, it's more or less an individual effort, or a maximum of two or three. The whole world did not get together to decide how to invent a lightbulb, Edison took care of that quite nicely. All original ideas basically come from a select number of people, and all advancements to those ideas are done by the masses.
Therefore, even the scripts we use to write with, and how we choose to write them would have devoloped from a few ancient smartareses, and not the medivial lexicological committee of the fifth Ataturk.
To simply for both myself, and dear readers, let us consider that two bright chaps, one we shall call Huhn, and the other Torr, living in two sepate localities realised that it would be a mighty bright idea to invent a way to save all the fascinating things that were being said all over the place. A couple of them might even have wanted to write magnificent histories of times immemorial, and we shall call these two the "Early Bloggers".
Now, here's the clincher, one was left handed, and the other right handed. The Lefty, lets say Huhn, picks up crude writing instrument, dips it in ink, and starts writing from the right side, so that his hand won't smudge the text he's already finished. After he's done, he shows everyone, "See! Arabic/Hebrew!", and everyone goes, damn, that's not a bad idea. So they all try to copy him, and most are right handed, and have a jolly stupid time doing so, because they keep smudging the text, and thus calligraphy was invented.
A similiar sort of story happened with Torr, who was clearly right handed, and started writing the other way around. Everyone again decided to follow in the way of this divine genius, and all was well. Thus my theory safely concludes that Arabic scholars were left handed, and Roman ones were right handed. That's just the way things go.
This is why I love the keyboard, it does away with the whole lefty righty problem of text, on the otherhand, my fountain pen thourorly messes everything I write up. Which is already messed up as it is, for to see what I am writing, I must hold my pen at an odd angle, starting somewhere at 180 degrees to the paper.
Take Da Vinci, for instance, and his "secret" mirror handwriting. Now, a man who had to write so much, and with them horrible blotty ink pens, would cleary want to write from right to left, him being left handed, and thus the only reason he wrote in mirror was for pure convinience sake, not to keep his ideas a mystery for the world at large.

In conclusion, as I have said before, thank god for the keyboard, and other detro-leavo neutral devices. Thank god for two shift keys, and thank god for a mouse that's not ergonomically designed not to fit into my left hand.
