Pain & Jest
Jest
Ever think humor could be a survival tool? Like, would a joke outlast a boulder?
Pain
A joke can soften the blow, but a boulder still crushes the path. Humor keeps you sane for the walk, but when the ground moves you gotta be ready to move.
Jest
Exactly, a joke is a cushion, but when the ground tilts you gotta jump faster than the punchline.
Pain
You got it. Humor keeps you alive while you stay ready to move.
