My first writing, ¿what is all this about? .

Hello STREEMIT users, I hope you are well, my name is Carlos Zambrano, some know me as CarlosZzambrano, although most call me Búho de Hope = Búho de la esperanza.

¿Why Owl of Hope?

Well, since ancient times the owl has been the symbol of knowledge, we can see it in the Athena deity for example, and the word "Hope" means hope, ie: Knowledge is hope.

¿Do I mean this in addition to the obvious?

It is no secret that Venezuela is in a terrible situation. In countries in crisis states like this, where there is no power at all, hopes will always be placed on something, whether mortal or supernatural, created or imagined. In my days of greatest sadness, melancholy and despair, I chose to place my hopes in knowledge. Although this may sometimes be distressing and frightening, it will never be more so than ignorance itself and the cult of ignorance.

To paraphrase Socrates: A life without examination is a life that does not deserve to be lived.

That is why I am here, in addition to the promise of economic gain, since STREEMIT is only the means to the end I want to achieve, I hope to contribute something of value in this means; if so please support my future content in order to reach more people.

I think I should put some of my interests: I am a voracious reader, reading from philosophy to sociology, psychology to economics. My interests have always been the social sciences, so in this space most of you will find writings on topics related to them.

With nothing more to add, "El Búho de Hope" bids farewell. I hope you have a happy day.

I'm happy to have met you on @steemit, @buhodehope and I must say, I am a bit impressed with the people I am meeting from Venezeula.

@hlezama is also from Venezeula and I like some of the things he posts on @musing.

Speaking of @musing, I would like to invite you to join us in answering questions there (on @musing). I earn about 10 to 25 Steem every week through my daily posts on that site and it is a lot more than what I earn on Steemit.

Thanks for joining the Steem blockchain and I'm happy to be a new online friend of yours 😊
