It may not seem obvious, but salt and light are very similar. Both enhance the
quality of life and help preserve life. Salt improves life by enhancing the flavor of
food. It also acts as a preservative, which is important for a culture in which
refrigeration has not been invented. Light improves the quality of life by holding
the darkness at bay and extending the amount of time for productivity or leisure.
It also is a preservative because it shows the right way to go in the dark and
helps someone see dangers that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see.
