The Fable of Porcupine (worth reading)
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 & protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.
.
After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other & they began to die, alone & 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 warmth & heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.
.
The best group is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others & can admire the other person's good qualities.
.
Better to be surrounded by warm pokes than be frozen in solitude.
