Simplified Meaning:
You can learn a lot about a person's true self by seeing what kind of jokes and humor they enjoy. If someone laughs at kind and gentle jokes, it might mean they are a kind and caring person. But if they find mean-spirited jokes funny, it might suggest they are less compassionate. For example, if someone laughs at a joke about helping others, it shows they value kindness. On the other hand, laughing at jokes that hurt others can show a lack of empathy. This idea suggests that paying attention to what makes a person laugh can reveal if they are kind-hearted or not, and we can use this understanding to choose our friends or partners wisely.
