"oh wretched man that I am" and "such were some of you"
we are to be light and salt. if the world hates our light they will prefer their dark.
And while we cannot alienate the lost with a haughty spirit, we also cannot leave them in darkness to prove our love for them.

Do you think as people, to be the Light and Salt of the Earth, we are to be Honest? Just like with the Sinner and the Publican, Honesty and Confession was the True Light, not goodness.
Being honest about our faults is probably the greatest form of love that we can give the World. Through confession, we become all things to all men, and the galvanization of people ceases. When Religion moves towards being good, as a requirement, the greatest darkness known to man begins to grow.
Nowhere else did Jesus call people, Blind, when in fact they could still see. When we declare that Light and Salt is our goodness, we are destined for trouble.
