Boredom

"The Gods were bored, so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, so Eve was created... Adam was bored alone, then Adam and Eve were bored together; then Adam and Even and Cain and Abel were bored en famille, then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse. To divert themselves, they conceived the idea of constructing a tower high enough to reach the heavens. This idea itself is as boring as the tower was high, and constitutes a terrible proof of how boredom had gained the upper hand."
