“Different taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.”
— George Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
When people have different senses of humor, it can create tension in their relationships. Imagine you love silly jokes, but your friend prefers clever and smart jokes. If your friend doesn’t laugh at your jokes, you might feel hurt. Over time, this could make it harder for you to feel close to them. Think about a comedian on stage—if the audience doesn’t find the jokes funny, the connection isn’t there. To get along better with others, it helps to find common ground in what makes you both laugh. Even if you have different tastes in humor, trying to appreciate each other’s jokes can make your bond stronger.
