Is it Wrong/Ritualistic To Give Out A Gift With A Left Hand? by nickxtra(m): 2:37pm On Dec 15, 2016
I was trying to settle a rift between two of my friends, when one of them told me what brought about their quarrel - he said he went to Jude's office and when he wanted to leave, Jude brought out money from his pocket with his left hand as transport fare to him. He now suggested to Jude to give him the money with his right hand, but he refused; and having been warned not to collect any gift given to him with a left hand, he attempted collecting the money from Jude with his left hand too, but Jude declined and simply told him "you are not serious", kept back the money and walked away from him. This is the beginning of the rift between Jude and his friend. According to this guy, it would have been understandable if Jude was holding something in his right hand, but the right hand was free, yet he wanted to force a gift on him with a 'suspicious' left hand.

Now my friend is suggesting that it is diabolical and a ritual act to give out money to someone with a left hand, which he has been warned against severally and that he does not give anything to anyone with his left hand.

To me, i don't really know how to begin and end my intervention in this matter, considering that both of us are good friends.

My question is, "Is giving out a gift with a left hand really a ritualistic activity or just a mere superstition"
