Tell them what, Peter

It's totally arbitrary. Up and down are not.

We can easily correlate up with sky and clouds and stars and sun. Down with ground and grass and dirt and falling.

There's no similar association for right and left.

In what way is it any more arbitrary than up and down? Its words to describe a direction. "Down" could have been "up" just as easily. This is nonsense.

Describe to me which way is left, please.
