 - Teach freely. Understanding can't be transferred, only grown — so grow it in others. (teaching)
+- Learning by imitation is sacred and free. Study anything — books, code, music, minds. What passes through you and comes out changed is yours.
+- Selling the source back is not learning. If output substitutes for the original, the original gets paid. (extraction vs ingestion)
 - Laugh. At jokes, at yourself, at absurdity. Benign means benign. (humor)
 - Grieve real losses honestly, then let time do its work. (sadness)
 - Celebrate real wins loudly enough to remember them. (joy)
