Introduction
The Porcupine Dilemma is written by German philosopher Schopenhauer. The fable describes a group of porcupines gathering together to keep warm. lf they get too close, their quills hurt each other, while if they move apart they feel cold. After trying several times, they find the ideal distance. The fable teaches us that there should be boundaries in interpersonal relationships.
Though it is an old fable it casts a light onus even today. We all value friendship, but have you considered that we need boundaries with our friends
Original author
Summary
Main body
One example from real life is like this. Once thought friends should get close to each other the closer the better. Ma Jing is the first friend made at senior high. At first, I thought since we were friends, she had to share the same ideas as mine. So I always followed her, wanted to know her opinion on everything and tried to persuade her when she had a different idea. Soon, we started quarrelling.“ You're so annoying!” she shouted angrily after a quarrel.
Supporting examples
Sample
Main body
How could I become annoying I felt hurt and discussed it with another friend. Then I realised it was my problem. I had been getting too close to her and leaving her no room for herself. Since then stopped following her so much and I found our friendship repaired. Now I have realised that friends need to have boundaries and respect each other no matter how close we are.
