IF you avoid porcupines, keep your distance, stay away from them, don't engage them you will be certain never to be stung.
If however in watching a porcupine ramble toward a cliff without being able to see the danger or trying to cross a busy highway at rush hour and if you attempt to redirect the beast to safety you will be stung. It will hurt. And the porcupine assumes it is justified at stinging. It's what they do. They are porcupines.
Avoid helping porcupines destined on self destruction unless you are willing to accept the pain of a quill.
And that my friends is my advice on advice.

Sometime hurt feelings hurt others
Forgiven
I think you're obsessed with the porcupine analogy.
There might be other explanations.
Sometimes things in nature sting because they are being unnecessarily pestered.
It can go both ways. My advice, since this seems to be the post for it, is to learn to understand when the sting is deserved or not.
