Fire & Salt

For everyone will be salted with fire..Mark 9:49.......Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another..

I often wonder what it is to be salted with fire...As I reflected on it , this is what the quote tells me.....

Fire..it gives an image of flame, burns, pain, sufferings but it also promises purification, renewal, expelling negative elements from self. Life's bashing has its usefulness, it brings realisation. It quench ego. It restores sight and hopefully it spurs one into positive action.

Everyday brings  fresh experiences, knowledge and new insights.   The daily seasoning of salt, does enrich our living but humans that we are, we could never  completely be at peace,  with ourself and others around us. Despite the many lessons of life, we still do silly things and go off course.  Strange isn't it?? I wonder WHY? 

Perhaps, it's because there are just too many brands of salt in the market to distract us...in addition to the tons of "ajinomoto" and other flavouring agents which flood the shelves of hypermarkets and our regular grocery stores.  What say you people??
