My 50 year old daughter and I have had the conversation serveral times about Jesus's words of being salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16). At first she was adamant that a Christ follower not be the kind of salt that ruins the pot of soup. ("Quiet down Mom, you are way over the top!") As I reasoned with her during these conversations she finally understands that some of us are a little more "salt" than others. A happy balance of salt and light is best but not always the most useful in certain situations. She now understands that salt is an enhanser and a perservation tool and sometimes needs to be used sparingly then sometimes abundantly. Dried meat enthusiasts will understand this. Be salt and light in this dark world.
