The Gods were Bored

November 29, 2017iambobbyyBoredom, Either/Or, Existentialism, Philosophy, Quote, Soren kierkegaard

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.

—Soren Kierkegaard, Either/or: A Fragment of Life (Ch. Crop Rotation).
