Mean Little Games

Why do friends enjoy doing mean things to each other even if it is out love? Is it because even though they love you they just feel like funny mean things are necessary? It might in a weird way strengthen the relationship of friends, but it also will, for a moment, not make things very good between the offended and offendee. The strengthening comes from when after the deed is done the friends must apologize and forgive each other which makes friends understand each other better. This may sound cheesy and all, but the bond between them is made stronger after each time they make up and forgive. But the forgiving may not be right away, the offended person may feel like they've been greatly wronged against and could feel bitter and angry. When these feelings pass over then the forgiving can begin and the friendship is once again restored. So mean little games are really truly a good thing that needs to be in every relationship unless, of course, you are the unforgiving type.
