Treated with respect, it is constructive, tireless. Treated with disrespect, it is destructive, vicious.

Electricity is insulated, though, and children are not permitted to play with it.

These people may be the true originals, even though they are certainly not the best appreciated. The famous messages of dress, the well-known language of clothes, is very often not doing any communicating at all; a good deal of it is a form of private muttering.
