Ah I see you consider blogging a diary/journal just like me.

Maybe I should start writing a journal too for therapeutical reasons. There are times when things dont go so well in life and then I tend to rant. But I dont want to bother other people with it, so in the end I just bottle it up. Maybe keeping a journal would allow me to get it out without molesting anybody and the process of writing down my musings would help me to sort out my thoughts on the subject as well. Sometimes that helps a lot too. Just to know where you stand on a certain issue.

Are you sure you want to do that? It sounds like a nice party trick, but this actually puts stress on the brain, you know? Children, who are born left handed and then forced to use their right hand end up with all kinds of problems. It may lead to stuttering, dislexia or the children can develop all kinds of insecurities and even phobias.

You are an adult already, so I dont think you will suffer from this as much as a child would. But still, in my opinion it is not a good idea to mess with your brain in such a manner. There is a good reason why the hemespheres specialised and certain tasks are separated. If you force one hemisphere to perform tasks it isnt meant to do, it could have unpleasant side effects.

Ledgem, you are a doctor, what do you think about this?
