Upon separating himself from God's presence, Cain embarks upon a journey of searching.  Yet the more he searches, the less he finds.  Railing against the God of Creation, he tries countless new beginnings only to find himself the same more than ever.  Eschewing the punishment of being an errant and vagabond, he builds a city where surrounded by houses, he will live homeless the rest of his days.  In fear, the seeks protection only to be more consumed by paranoia as his security increases.  This is the human condition cut off from God's ever waiting presence.
