Focus/antifocus duality in human hands

Most people have a pronounced functional difference in their hands. Usually left hand takes the supporting or providing role while right hand takes the manipulating role. Left hand holds the object while right hand executes an action. This duality reflects the duality in the brain in a crosswise or swapped fashion; left focuses while right antifocuses; left analyses while right feels. Right sets the overall mood while left operates it's object.

For a minority of people these roles are swapped, sometimes even balanced. I heard that left handed people are more creative. I guess most balanced people, in whom both sides can take both roles, eventually get forced into choosing right hand since our society is mostly right handed currently.

Like quantum and relativity; quantum focus while relativity antifocus.
