Moral 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 the quills of each one wounded their closest  companions.

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.
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 quill sticks in your  life!
