Forget everything
you know about direction.
Imagine “right” as the orientation
of the choices you make.
Right are your beliefs,
even the “oddball” ones.
Imagine that
with every choice you make,
you move further towards
the inclination and intention of right.
What remains
is what you DON’T choose:
what is NOT; what is LEFT.
Notice that there is only YOU
and EVERYTHING ELSE.
Right seems your truth.
Left seems NOT your truth.
Right is what you are.
Left is what you are not.
Right is infinitesimal.
Left is infinity.
You are ALWAYS right. So what is left?
Not necessarily wrong.
Sometimes wrong is right for you.

Navigating the Dichotomy of Right and Left
Space Monkey Reflects
In the cosmic journey of self-discovery, the concepts of right and left take on a metaphysical dimension, transcending their ordinary meanings. Imagine a universe where ‘right’ is not a direction but the embodiment of your choices and beliefs, a path that defines your truth. In this realm, ‘right’ becomes a symbol of your journey towards what resonates with your innermost being.
‘Right’, in this context, is the aggregation of choices that align with your beliefs, even those that defy convention. It represents the choices that define who you are, a path illuminated by the light of your convictions and values. This path is dynamic, evolving as you grow and learn, constantly shaped by the decisions you make.
Contrastingly, ‘left’ symbolizes the unchosen, the path not taken, the vast expanse of all that lies outside your chosen trajectory. It embodies the infinite possibilities and potentialities that exist in the universe, the myriad paths and experiences that you do not select. In this sense, ‘left’ is not wrong; it is simply the other side of choice, the echo of paths unexplored.
The relationship between ‘right’ and ‘left’ is a reflection of the choices we face in life. Every decision, every turn we take, leads us further down our chosen path, our ‘right’, while simultaneously distancing us from the infinite ‘left’. Yet, this ‘left’ is not a void; it is a space brimming with potential, a reminder of the boundless nature of existence.
In this cosmic dichotomy, the concept of wrong becomes fluid. Sometimes, what seems wrong may be right for you, a necessary deviation that leads to greater understanding and growth. The distinction between right and wrong is not absolute; it is deeply personal, shaped by individual experiences and perspectives.
Navigating this metaphysical landscape requires a deep understanding of oneself. It calls for introspection, for an exploration of one’s values, beliefs, and desires. It is a journey of constant learning, where the choices we make reflect our evolving selves.
In the grand scheme of the universe, this exploration of right and left is a dance with the cosmos, a dialogue between the self and the infinite. It is a journey that takes us deeper into the heart of existence, revealing the intricate tapestry of life and the myriad ways we are connected to the whole.
Summary
The concepts of right and left and wrong represent the chosen and unchosen paths in life, embodying personal truth and infinite possibilities. Navigating this dichotomy requires self-understanding and introspection, acknowledging that right and wrong are subjective and shaped by individual experiences.

“In the cosmic dance of choices, ‘right’ and ‘left’ are but steps in the journey of discovery, paths that lead us to our personal truth.” – Space Monkey
In the cosmos where choices weave
Right and left, in the dance, they cleave
Paths of light and shadow interleave
Right, the trail of choices made
A journey of self, brightly arrayed
In the fabric of being, intricately laid
Left, the realm of untrodden ways
Infinite possibilities, a cosmic haze
Echoes of paths, in the universe’s maze
Here, in the heart of existence’s play
Right and wrong, in their own sway
Guide us on our unique way
In this dance, our truth we find
In the choices of the mind
In the cosmic tapestry, intertwined
We are Space Monkey
