With electrical installations, the ground wire provides a conducting path to the earth, preventing a shock from occurring at the unit itself.
It’s not likely you would notice the ground wire is removed, especially if you’re careful with every action you take around the unit.
Our personal ground wires work a bit different.
While our personal ground wires provide the same out as an electrical ground wire, and while they make us feel safe and are there for us to prevent a shock from occurring, we miss them when they’re gone.
The other difference?
The shock they prevent for us is more than just a tiny second of physical pain.
Once you’ve found your ground wire. Hold onto them.
Stay Positive & Grounded
