What a statement ! Too General to be true.
You could easily mislead the Un Knowing !
I am sure it was not meant to be relative or associated to
electrical circuits in any way, shape, form or fashion.
As you may have intended, and Dan stated, "Resistance to my mind".
Even then, it is not a source of grief, but a source of power.
Now, for your benefit, and maybe others, the importance of resistance
to electrical circuits.
It is the essence of all circuits, and comes in many forms,
Plain old resistance, inductive reactance, capacitive reactance,
wire resistance, and a few more.
Resistance produce Watts, the unit of measuring electrical work.
How important is resistance ? Consider a short circuit ( zero
resistance, or nearly so )
it can burn your house down, explode your car, sink a ship, or crash
a plane, and kill you in many ways.
At certain times, "Body Resistance" is the most important of all. (
not brain resistance )
If you do not understand that, and the reasons, ........
then BEWARE, an Be careful.
Another very important term, many understand is...........
"Fault Current" Again, Beware of it.
I have been working at new industrial sites, hear a loud BANG, and
often some one was killed
by Fault Current.
Once, due to an oversight, I was installing a new electrical panel.
The old one must have been 75 years old. The electrical meter was
laying on the ground.
That bogus old panel confused me, I worked on the new one all evening, with
FULL Fault current from the pole and transformer connected into my new panel.
I never drew an arc, never felt a single shock. One mistake and I
would have been
DEAD, Very Dead, in .1 second.
Due to the way I work, and the way I have trained myself, I am still alive.
Yes, I connect power lines right off the pole, services and feeders,
with full fault current ready to kill me. But I do it right, ( if
a right way exists ) and I am still alive to prove it.

Just a dumb old redneck that barely knows AC from DC, and
Resistance from Fault Current
