silently, like thoughts that come and go, the snowflakes fall, each one a gem.In vain to show treasures to those who do not know how to appreciate them, and to waste precious things on those who do not deserve themThis statement comes from the Gospel of Matthew, which originally meant "Do not give holy things to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before the swines, lest they trample them with their feet and turn around and bite you." Later, the idiom was extended to mean not wasting time, energy, and resources in front of people who don't know how to appreciate. It exhorts people to choose wisely who they share with, rather than wasting precious things on those who don't know them, and simply not to "play the harp to the cow."Silently, like flowing thoughts, snowflakes fell, each one a treasure.
