you are the salt of the earth
but if the salt loses its saltiness
how can it be salty again
it is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by people

you are the light of the world
neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl
or refuse to see the light at the end of the tunnel
instead
they put it on the stand and it gives light to everyone in the house
they save everyone and make certain they all find that light at the end of the tunnel
in the same way
let your light shine before people
that they may see good deeds
and praise the one who made it all possible
