The monster can hurt you, it&#8217;s bigger and unstoppable but it&#8217;s blind and you have vision. So you get a long, even need each other until you accidentally light its thumb like Gene Hackman giving Peter Boyle (Frankenstein) a cigar.

The not at all part is that if you are right handed and try to create activity for your left it&#8217;s like trying to write legibly or switch hands in tennis or change which hand you bow the violin with. Adhering to the instructions requires a lot more help from the rest of the nervous system. Whether I accomplish it to my satisfaction or not, something unique happens in the brain.
