The Proverb says: "One should never rub bottoms with a porcupine."
African proverbs are a centuries-old African Wisdom Tradition. African proverbs are not only incredibly insightful, but they are also incredibly practical. This particular proverb is about the importance of choosing your friends wisely. Porcupines are not known for being particularly friendly animals, and so this proverb is cautioning against rubbing bottoms with someone who is likely to cause harm. African proverbs often contain deep truths that can be applied to many different situations in life, and this one is no exception. Choose your friends wisely, and avoid those who are likely to cause you harm.

The Proverb says: "If you pick up one end of the stick you also pick up the other."
African proverbs are as relevant today as they were centuries ago. This particular proverb is stating that everything is connected. You can't just pick up one end of the stick without also picking up the other end. It's all connected. If you take something from someone, you will also have to give something in return. It's the law of cause and effect, what goes around comes around, and you reap what you sow. African proverbs are rich in philosophical meaning and advise us to live in harmony with each other and nature. We should heed their words and learn from their wisdom.
