Fable Of The Porcupine

[McMouse]

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 Pricks in your
life!

Sound more like one of those smart *** self-help advice thingys to me. Luckily for those around me they have not got to get used to any imperfections :-)
