This is why when learning to write, kids constantly mix up their “b” and “d” and have problems remembering which way “3” should face. Our lizard brains don’t really care for left vs. right.
Fun fact… Ancient Greek (and a lot of other early alphabet-based scripts) was often written both left and right. It was called boustrophedon, “as the ox plows.”
Basically, write the letters left to write, get to the end of the line, next line goes right to left, etc. We’re so used to symmetry that it is actually reasonably natural, to your point.
