Is That Alright?

Is That Alright?

Life is so simple.
A little boy, a little girl,
Laughing and loving,
Trying to figure out the world.
It felt like summer,
When I kissed you in the rain,
And I know your story,
But tell me again.
Nothing you say wouldn’t interest me,
All of your words are like poems to me.
I would be honored if you would take me as I am,
I want you to look right in my eyes,
To tell me you love me, to be by my side.
I want you at the end of my life.
I wanna see your face, when I fall with grace,
At the moment I die.
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
I hope you’re still with me when I’m not quite myself,
And I pray that you’ll lift me when you know I need help.
It’s a warm celebration of all of our years,
I dream of our story, of our fairy tale.
Family dinners and family trees,
Teaching the kids to say thank you and please.
Knowing if we stay together that things will be right.
I want you to look right in my eyes,
To tell me you love me, to be by my side.
I want you at the end of my life.
I wanna see your face, when I fall with grace,
At the moment I die.
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?

END.

So Why Are One-Tenth Of World’s Population Ciotacha.

Today, about one-tenth of the world’s population are left-handed [In Irish ‘ciotach’].
Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed, and why does the trait exist in the first place?

Daniel M. Abrams investigates how the uneven ratio of lefties and righties gives insight into a balance between competitive and co-operative pressures on human evolution.

A 1996 Belgian study found that left-handedness is about twice as common in about 21% of both fraternal and identical twins, than found in the general population.

According to a 2013 Yale University study, people who are left-handed are at greater risk of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Researchers who polled patients at a mental-health clinic, found that 40% of those with schizophrenia or schizo-affective, wrote with their left hand; considerably higher than the 10% of lefties found in the world’s general population.
