Post 1,152: The Tasteless Joke

November 18, 20251 min read

I was talking with a friend a few nights ago and I made a joke about a traumatic event that had recently happened to him. He promptly (jokingly) said we were not friends anymore. He was joking, yet I could see I really caused him pain in that moment. I instantly apologized and we moved on.

It just made me think about how people can deal with things so many different ways. I joke. Those jokes can be hurtful though. I don’t think I will ever be able to perfectly know when something is appropriate or not. I think it is important to pay attention for when that joke is definitely not, though.

Tiny adjustments to help those I love feel better add up over time. And it is worth it for the people I love.
