Weird question I need an answer to (Good vs. Evil)
 
This question is reminiscent of the poem 'Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood'. Picture two roads diverged in front of you. One goes left, one goes right. Each path represents a choice to lead the most good of good lives or the most evil of evil lives. Which path, (left or right), do you picture in your mind being the good one?

I chose left - I have a feeling that in my case it's because you listed the paths left then right, then gave the description good then bad. I think I was mentally picturing and then labelling the paths in the same order in which you listed them.

interesting question.

I chose left pretty confidently. My guess would be that my choice was due to the reason bunny stated above and the fact that I am left handed. I've always preferred things left over right, kind of weird how that works for me.

I pictured good on the right, like the right lane on a highway... slow and boring, but safer and more predictable

evil is the fast lane... fun, exciting, and it's only dangerous if you're bad at being evil [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would be interested to know if people whose native language is written from right to left would tend to answer this differently.

my native language is arabic(right to left), but when i read english it has no effect whatsover, i also thought of the left-good correlation because of the wording structure..

I would imagine this would be correlated to what hand you are.

apparently not though by the results, unless 2+2 is 2:1 left handed

I vote right for reasons I leave you to divine.

there are correlations other than 1, right?
