We do not rush toward death, we flee the catastrophe of birth, survivors struggling to forget it. Fear of death is merely the projection into the future of a fear which dates back to our first moment of life.
We are reluctant, of course, to treat birth as a scourge: has it not been inculcated as the sovereign good—have we not been told that the worst came at the end, not at the outset of our lives? Yet evil, the real evil, is behind, not ahead of us. What escaped Jesus did not escape Buddha: “If three things did not exist in the world, O disciples, the Perfect One would not appear in the world. …” And ahead of old age and death he places the fact of birth, source of every infirmity, every disaster.”
— Emil Cioran, The Trouble with Being Born (1973)

Information security enthusiast, I enjoy poking stuff to see how it works and learning new things. Mostly focused on web, systems and network security, but I like to dabble in other areas as well. This website used to be a blog but I've lost interest in writing anything useful for others. Archives of old posts are still available under the projects section.
