In the Bible, Jesus encouraged his disciples to share their message with those who are open to receiving it. The phrase reflects the understanding that pigs are seen as unclean and dogs as scavengers. It serves as a powerful reminder that when we share sacred gifts, they should be given to those who will truly value them. By honoring the worth of what we offer, we avoid the disappointment of having our treasures overlooked or disrespected. For example, saying, "I was casting pearls before swine," inspires us to focus our energy on those who appreciate the value we bring.
