I get what you're saying...but "I am salt of the earth" doesn't fit in there. The term salt of the earth is actually a compliment to a person's goodness.

I was told if you salt the earth nothing can grow and that’s why it’s bad. Huh. @indyjoe

@ShadowOfMyself That is not the way I have always heard it used all of my life even by the elderly. So I was just pointing it out because it seemed out of place in what you was saying.

Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll be sure to research it so I won’t make that mistake again @indyjoe

@ShadowOfMyself It actually comes from the bible...Jesus' sermon on the mount he says "Ye are salt of the earth".
