THE FABLE OF THE PORCUPINE...
It was the coldest winter ever...
Many animals died because of the cold.
The poor little porcupines, realizing the dire situation they were
in,decided to group together, this way, they covered themselves; but,
the quills of each one wounded their closest companions even though
they
gave off heat that would save to each other.
After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from another
and soon they began to die...alone ...and frozen.
Even though they are little animals, they had to make a life or death
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 that the heat that came from the others allowed all to survive.t
Therefore, the best relationship is not the one that brings together
perfect people, but the best is when each individual learns to live
with imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good
qualities.
The moral of this story:
LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE!!!

Talking to the Wall - Joke
In Jerusalem, an American female journalist heard about an old Rabbi
who visited the Kotel, the Western Wall to pray twice a day every day for
over five decades.
In an effort to check out the story, she goes to the holy site and there he
is. She watches the old man at prayer and after about 45 minutes, when he
turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview. “I’m Rebecca Smith
from CNN, sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and
praying?”
“For about 50 years,” he informs her. “That’s amazing! What do you
pray for?” “I pray for peace between the Jews and Arabs. I pray for all the
hatred to stop and I pray for all of our children to grow up in safety and
friendship.”
“And how do you feel, sir, after doing this for 50 years?”
“Like I’m talking to a brick wall!”
