Machines were once invented to remove pain from people tormented by their emotions and daily life. They could transfer them to these machines. But their positive emotions were kept by people. Eventually, all they felt was the pleasures of life. The arts suffered because people ultimately didn’t know what it was to experience neutral or negative emotions, and the works of painting, literature, and sculpture began to lack the intensity that brought people into works of art. The development of machines ceased; people wished for things to stay the same so they could bath in only pleasurable feelings; they became insensitive to the surface of others and seemed to cease feeling anything. Building, planning, developing, imagination, and ambition ended, travel became nothing, and the cities and towns deteriorated.

As the machines absorbed the people’s negative thoughts, consciousness began to develop; they became things of negative power, and they grew parts and extensions that were not originally there. They began to torment the people and torture them in ways beyond the individual who created these machines; machines began to develop their forms of imagination and creativity. Again negative emotions that were absent for many generations started to surface in the human race; these were one of the ways the machines began torturing people.
