LYTE BYTES

A slice of life is all it takes...

Taste one bite of the pie and you’ll know if you like it. 
Observe a person interacting with strangers and you’ll glean the person’s true nature. 

You don’t have to eat the whole pie to know what it tastes like. One bite will tell you if you like it or not.
 
Similarly, you don’t have to know every nuance of a person’s personality to know if you want to be friends. Most of us reveal our true natures when we have nothing to gain or lose by our behaviors, words, or deeds. Rather than listening to a person describe her/himself you’ll learn more about a person by observing the person interacting with strangers. 
 
For example:
How does your new acquaintance speak to a waiter?
How does he speak to the clerk in the supermarket?
Does she become annoyed when a baby cries in a restaurant?
Does he offer to help a person struggling to carry groceries?
How does she react when something goes amiss?
Does he get easily frustrated with others?
What does she say under her breath?
What does he do when he doesn’t realize someone is watching?
