Humor is something that's hard to explain. It arises in the moment when someone says something and you react to it. Often, the joke doesn't work if you retell it later. Humor is like air – you can't see it, but you feel it's important.
A joke doesn't always make people laugh. It can also offend or make someone cry. A joke can be sharp. Humor allows talking about serious things without everything becoming too heavy.
Nowadays, making jokes is difficult. People are sensitive and easily offended. We live in an era where people want to show they are smarter than others. Taking offense has become fashionable. People demonstrate they understand more than others.
Some people don't understand humor. Their lives are sad. They are like warning flags – showing how not to behave.
Making jokes on stage can be hard if no one laughs. Then you need to find a way to save the situation. For example, you can joke about the fact that no one laughed.
Humor can also be a weapon. But it's not right to say "I was just joking" if someone gets offended. Dark humor can be good, but it must be clear that it's a joke.
There's a lot of frustrated humor on social media. These people need help. Maybe they should rest and not use social media so much.
A healthy society should be able to joke but also be polite. We should have respect for others. This doesn't mean we can't criticize.
A comedian's life can be hard if they have worries. But being on stage can be a good way to escape troubles. Humor can also help in bad situations.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is a good example of how comedic skills help in leading a country. He knows how to react quickly and joke about himself. This is his strength.
