Paradox #1
Some people see a contradiction in this verse with the teachings about loving and helping others, as it suggests being selective in sharing wisdom or spiritual value. It could seem inconsistent with the idea of treating everyone with equal respect and care.
Paradox #2
Some people see a contradiction in how the message promotes kindness, yet suggests withholding valuable teachings from those deemed unworthy. This could seem inconsistent with the broader message of love and inclusion found elsewhere.
Paradox #3
This verse suggests not sharing valuable things with those who won't appreciate them, which can seem to contradict the principle of unconditional love and kindness found elsewhere in the teachings. This might be seen as limiting who deserves care and truth.
