Snake and Pig in love, friendship and work
In love
In love the clash is the pair that fascinates and exhausts: the attraction is real, the arguments are too. The tradition says it needs patience from both and someone willing to go first.
As friends
As friends they compete, often without meaning to, and are at their best doing something side by side rather than talking.
At work
At work they argue about method and agree about the goal. Give them separate lanes and the clash becomes range.
