An oyster grows a pearl over time. What started as an irritant, a piece of sand that got into its mouth forms into this beautiful jewel.
What if the oyster had spit it out, it would just be another grain of sand at the at the bottom of the ocean.
We sometimes do this to people, if they are irritating then we spit them out. We treat them as common and discard them, leaving them to believe they are just another piece of sand.
You have the ability to form pearls too. When someone is irritating you, you have a choice. Will you spit them out or will you keep them close and allow them to become a pearl. Pearls are rare only because there are too many grains of sand that have not been giving the chance to realize their potential.
