When friends turn shared humor into spiritual competition

My best friend and I started sharing Nasreddin jokes but now we're competing to find the most obscure or profound ones instead of just cracking each other up. What used to be spontaneous has become this weird performance of who understands Sufi humor better.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The ego can colonize even the most humble practices, transforming connection into contest.
