Reminded of brokenness.

It was just after sin entered the world that we realized our human nakedness. It was after sin we felt the need to clothe ourselves.

It was after sin took root in the culture that people built the Tower of Babel to reach God. Because of sin, they were driven by the incentive to not need him.

So I think God, his single intention being to cleanse us from our sinful emptiness, wants to always remind us of our nakedness. Face the truth of brokenness. Keep us in a position of dependance. Because we're burdened, hollow, shallow, and unsatisfied when we cover it all up and try to do it alone.
