Tests

Life's full of 'em ain't it?!
Drugs test, Maths tests, Driving test, Breathe tests, and Pregnancy tests...
But, I think that the most important tests you can have are the ones that life throws at you on a daily basis. Tests on your personal life, test on your ability to put up with other people's shite, tests of your will power and attitude.
We test each other every day. You test the atmosphere in the room to see whether or not you can tell a certain jkoe (unless you're my little brother who actually couldn't give a flyer!), you test the water with a person when you have to give news they might not want, you test how cheeky you can be to your boss (in this case I don't give a flyer!), and you test people's attitudes to see if you can put up with them today or not!
It's interesting to see how people react to you or percieve your meaning. Have you ever tried telling someone EXACTLY what you're going to the toilet for?! It's hilarious. We all know it's a natural bodily function but we are almost programmed to be repulsed by the thought of it. Try getting up form your desk and going...and as you go say quite loudly: It's only a number one guys, there's no need to panic! I wonder if you'd get a discaplinary?!
I feel that the above ramble in leading somewhere and i guess it's to here:
The most trying tests are the ones where it's our own friends who test us. Whether it be an omission of fact, an act that completely disregards anything you have together or the way you treat the other. These things, I have learnt the hard way, can hurt. but we get on with them, we move upwards and we learn, rather sadly, to perhaps not give as much to people. Wait for them to give maybe? Be more distant?
These things trouble me and your thoughts are welcome because this idea goes against everything that makes me...well, me.
