I’ve always wondered about the whole “you are the salt of the earth” thing. Did they mean it in a positive or negative way?

I’m pretty sure it’s positive. Salt is (was, but still is to a lesser extent) extremely valuable. It’s literally where the word “salary” comes from. Every person, and animal, needs salt to survive, and it used to be much harder to obtain than today. It’s only bad in extremely high amounts in a field you’re planning to grow crops.
