Can You Take A Joke?

Do you 👍🏼 to joke? You do? Great! Tell me, do you make fun of people? You do this too? Good! Now tell me – can you take a joke? More importantly, can you take a joke made at your expense??

👎🏼? I thought so. Being able to hear oneself being ridiculed needs superhuman 💪… But tell me – doesn’t this reek of hypocrisy then? Learn to recognize lighthearted gestures! Learn to not make mountains out of molehills.

If someone’s 😊, don’t rain on her/ his/ their parade… If something 😡 you, show your displeasure the way an adult should – & not by sulking, blocking, unfriending etc.! Don’t make anyone wish she/ he/ they could go away & never return.

To conclude, if you crack jokes on others, you MUST have the courage to take a joke upon yourself too. I strongly encourage a positive and open-minded approach to humor.
