-------------

I believe this phrase is pointing to the appreciation of probably a few people or some rare moments in life, as it shows an appreciation for something or someone bringing exceptional warmth, happiness, and meaning to life. Such moments and people can be rare, maybe, but if we are lucky, such moments and people can abound. The word "few" adds a layer of scarcity to the idea suggesting that valuable moments and people are not easily found and experienced.

I tend to differ, however, with the scarcity idea in that phrase. Good people are not scarce, for everyone has some good in them, probably hidden deep down inside for some. What brings out the good in a human being may be luck, but more likely, it is appreciation. Most of the time, appreciated people will try to live up to that expectation.

As to moments, I think it is how we look at them. Some things in my life I thought were negative--later on--proved to be the best possible events, situations, and such, to my benefit.

"Precious and few?" Maybe. On the other hand, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
