Humor is bonding when it punches up or sideways, not down.
Punching down signals insecurity; shared absurdity signals alliance.
Vulnerability is strength with boundaries.

Standards without skills frustrate; skills without standards burn out.
Train both inner worth and outer competence.
Rejection is redirection.
A no clears space for a better-aligned yes.
