Man is all symmetrie
Full of proportions, one limbe to another,
And all to the world besides...
By George Herbert
Why it ought to be symmetrical in human mind? Symmetry is a myth. Our symmetrical arms, legs and body seem to tell us how the world was created. The patterns, architectures and objects around our life, we can easily find the symmetry everywhere. The influence of left-right differences in human mind is powerful. Our views of the world are changed unconsciously by the invisible power. Probably it is even the 'symmetry instinct'.(1)
