(Inspired by a post in a friend's tumblr)
Original question was to try to "objectively" define left and right (ie you can't just point)
Left and right are both directions. The difference between them is that when facing due North, your former will be to the West, and your latter will fall on the East. Remember which half of your body was placed in each quadrant, and you will be able to know the difference between your left and right, this works even after you discontinue facing North.
Now try to define the relationship between North, South, East and west without using right, left, or equivalent terms such as clockwise & counter-clockwise.
Have fun...
