I think what helped me change was realizing that, like I grew up in an environment in The 80s And 90s where it wasn't fucking ok to be gay.
Ever wondered where to draw the line with humor, especially in a spiritual context? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason tackle the tricky terrain of humor within the recovery community.
With guest Chris B, they dive into questions like, 'Is it ever okay to make fun of people?' and 'How do we know when we've crossed a line?' They examine the fine balance between self-deprecating jokes and those that might harm others, shedding light on the spiritual implications of our laughter. The conversation also touches on the eighth and ninth steps of recovery, exploring how to mend any harm caused by humor.
While acknowledging that there's no one-size-fits-all answer to what's funny and what's offensive, the hosts stress the importance of empathy and communication in setting personal boundaries. They also delve into how societal norms shape our sense of humor and its role in bonding and building relationships. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how humor intersects with spirituality and mental health, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own use of humor and its impact on others.
