Understanding your audience is crucial, especially in today's culturally sensitive environment. It's wise to prioritize caution in communication, particularly when it comes to humor. If your jokes risk offending someone, it’s better to avoid them altogether, as humor shouldn't come at the expense of another person's feelings.
We can enjoy laughter and connection without ridiculing others. The emphasis should be on finding joy in shared experiences rather than at someone else's expense, fostering a positive impact in our interactions. This insight is highlighted in Susan C. Young's book, "The Art of Connection."
