I suppose I understand what you're saying. Calling it a test seems just far too cruel to me.
But Changing. Would that mean there's more than just two choices then?
You can change in so many ways. It's not just one thing or another. It's all one thing that leads to this or that, one after another. There are so many little choices that you make every day that slowly change you or not. You said yourself, there's adapting and outright becoming something entirely different.
It's like when your life is in danger. There's not just you fight back or you do nothing. How you fight back or react matters too. What I choose to do versus what someone else chooses.
That maybe
That might be why I don't like to think of situations where life throws things unexpected at you as a test. Not even one of character. There's no way anyone would turn out the same. No way to get "graded" so to speak. Just a whole variety of life revealing different shades of yourself, even the parts you're too afraid to see or even acknowledge.
I don't mean to be preachy or anything of course. That's just how I see it.
