孟子對曰：“軻聞之：君子稱身而就位，不為苟得而受賞，不貪榮祿。諸侯不聽，則不達其上。聽而不用，則不踐其朝。”今道不用於齊，願行而母老，是以 憂也. 孟母曰：“夫婦人之禮，精五飯，冪酒漿，養舅姑，縫衣裳而已矣。故有閨內之脩，而無境外之志。《易》曰：‘在中饋，無攸遂。’《詩》曰：‘無非無儀，惟酒食是議。’以言婦人無擅制之義，而有三從之道也。故年少則從乎父母，出嫁則從乎夫，夫死則從乎子，禮也。今子成人也，而我老矣。子行乎子義，吾行乎吾禮.

I hereby resign as your Curator. One cannot serve a body in which one no longer believes. The corruption that goes own behind the scenes is more rampant than many people could even fathom, but trust me, it exists. I suppose one cannot expect more from a body that is generally elitist and cliquish, and I may have been idealistic to think it was more than that. But I want no more part in serving this place.

My resignation will become official once a new Curator is selected. In the meantime, Shankbot will carry out the day-to-day activities until a replacement has been elected. I personally endorse Shankbot for the position. He has been a dutiful worker and a conscientious citizen.

Farewell
