I don’t think that I, nor any of us are making an impact on our current society. I feel like these machines are morphing society into a machine itself and we are the cogs that run this machine. We are not living, we are merely being provided with life. Life itself is dull in this society, it lacks creativeness and color. It reminds me of crazy people who get locked up in pure white rooms with white clothing. In this society there is no opinion there, but rather only what needs to be done.  \nBelieve it or not, dying slowly is different from living. Living is to experience and enjoy, torefresh yourself from the feeling of dying slowly. People aren't made to act like machines, because machines do not feel. we are made to do more than a machine could ever do. Machines are made to do the tedious work for humans so that we can achieve more and strive for perfection. Our society has set us Backwards. That is why I don't want anything to do with the government or the Progression of machines.  \nSigned,  \nEd Finnerty","cbCaiu0TzTZl6AoU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu0TzTZl6AoU","pdf",35821,"English","# Letter Content\n## Recipient and Subject\n## Resignation Statement\n## Signed Closure","[{\"question\":\"Who is the resignation letter addressed to?\",\"answer\":\"The letter is addressed to Director Gelhorne.\"},{\"question\":\"What reason does Ed Finnerty give for resigning?\",\"answer\":\"He resigns due to the belief that society is being shaped like a machine and that people are merely treated as cogs, lacking creativity and genuine living.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the letter end?\",\"answer\":\"It ends with the signature line “Signed, Ed Finnerty.”\"}]","Finerty’s Resignation Letter Example | PDF",1789483130]
