Fable of the Porcupine

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.
The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep
warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but
quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one
from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So
they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their

companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided
to go back to being together. They learned to live with the
little wounds caused by the close relationship with their

companions in order to receive the heat that came from the
others. This way they were able to survive.

The best relationship is not the one that brings
together perfect people, but when each individual learns to
live with the imperfections of others and can admire the
other person's good qualities.

The moral of the story is

Just learn to live with the Pricks in your life.
