Fable Of The Porcupine

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.  This way they covered and protected
themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest
companions even though they gave off heat to each other.

After a
while, 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.  This way they
learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the 
close relationship with their companions, but the most
important part of it was the heat that came from the others. 
This way they were able to survive. 
 
The best relationship is not the one that brings
perfect people together, but the best relationship
is 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:
 
LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.
