The spiteful goddess. The goddess Hera was classified as an imposing and capricious woman, until the god Zeus wanted her as his wife and she refused such a request. She refused because of the fame he already had. She felt good being a powerful goddess and she didn't need him. The story of her life describes her little by little how she ends up being a tempestuous woman and that she was governed by jealousy that put her in a spiteful and vindictive position. Zeus was the god…
Laura's memories. She’s a very outgoing girl, tall and with a good figure. Her white skin with large sky-blue eyes contrasted with her light brown hair. She had been raised by her parents ... no, raised by people who paid her parents to care for her, they were never home to take care of her, they gave her whatever she wanted so that she wouldn’t bother while they dealt with their "business matters", that’s how her parents called the trips they used to do. But one day the…
My life with Bitcoin Cash. When I started on this platform I did it just for writing, I did it at the invitation of a friend and I stayed because I liked it since I can write many articles that I like. I let my imagination fly and write, and so a long time passed. I mean that I have been on this platform for several months and it’s now that I understand the world behind this platform... and I like it. My beginnings here occurred as a way out of my need to acquire money to…
Celebrations!! On a few days my son and I decided to make dinners like this. These are muffins in cupcake molds and accompanied with hot chocolate. I make a quick mix for the muffins and place them on a muffin tray, the muffins come out quick, fluffy, and delicious. This is the way in which I proceed to make them: Ingredients: .- 3 cups of wheat flour. .- 3 tablespoons of powdered milk. .- 1 tablespoon of baking powder. .- 1 egg. .- ½ cup of oil. .- 1 spoon of vanilla. .- 2…
On the Guárico Dam. I was looking for information about the architectural works that were built in my country, Venezuela, in the 1950s onwards because I remembered something that they told me when I was working many years ago in a city in the plains region. While I was on those regions working for 18 months in the general hospital of *Calabozo*, on several occasions I heard the elderly talk about the labor used on constructions during the time that dictators governed the…
From the movie Freedom Writers. It’s a movie to watch more than once. The first time I saw it on television, the film had already started, but its plot caught my attention. And the second time that I could see it from the beginning. It’s about a new teacher on campus with a group of students who were not interested in studying and none of the teachers cared about their behavior. I’m not going to speak from a racist point of view but from the point of view of the ignorance…
Touring my flowered garden. Today my garden is very productive, the cherry plant that I transplanted last year into a pot is producing its first cherries. It’s a very small production but one that makes me happy because after knowing that he did it for the first time, I can only hope that he continues to do it. This is my red chili plant and it’s also very productive, it has not stopped producing load after load of its beautiful red berries. They are spicy but they leave a…
The story of my little Morganianum. This little succulent was once a single leaf. I first saw it in the nursery of a department store, in the gardening area there was a large basket that looked like a fern basket with a large *Morganianum* hanging from it. I was always struck by the way this succulent grows and this one in particular I stopped to observe. This succulent is of the Sedum species and grows in the form of a row, each of its leaves closely attached to a hanging…
The orchid as an ornamental symbol. The national flower of Venezuela is the orchid. It’s considered one of the countries where the greatest diversity of the *Cattleya* orchid species is found. There are about 1,500 species of orchids in general. Orchids belong to the *Orchidaceae* family, with around 30,000 species that form it around the world and they have, depending on their species, habitat diversity. In Venezuela they can be found at levels as high as 1,800 meters above…
My nightmare. Just yesterday I mentioned to my son that I hardly ever remember the dreams I have during my night's rest, but last night instead of a dream I had a nightmare and it’s one of the worst I have ever had in my life. This is what happened in my nightmare. I remember walking with a group of people and we are crossing a mighty river, there were many rocks where you had to go to avoid falling into the water. At the other end of the river and when the end of the route…
The story of Oedipus. One of the stories that draws my attention from Greek mythology is that of King Oedipus. It’s a story that begins in tragedy and ends in tragedy, it’s something like saying that everything that starts badly ends badly. Oedipus was the son of the kings of Thebes, King Laius and his wife Jocasta. In Greek mythology, the oracle, who was a kind of prophetic diviner in those times and who was the one who informed the reality of the destiny of those who…
Do good without seeing who. It’s nice to be writing in a community that has a purpose of carrying the message of giving a little of what you have to others and seeing that they too enter into that same rhythm and want to give others something as well. When I entered this platform I didn’t imagine all the great things that I would find here, I thought I should write my articles and then try to improve them more and more. How nice that I met people who were answering my…
My brother's odyssey. My family was very small, it’s just my parents and six siblings. My parents came from the European continent looking for a better life in South America since their country suffered from the economic consequences of the Second World War. But they brought their genetic load that they passed on to all of their children. By that I mean that they, my parents and their parents, had certain diseases and they passed them on to us. Four of my brothers got the…
Thinking about the past in a present situation. There are many situations in life that you have to experience to feel what it means, one of the things that I’m realizing is the fact that our mind over the years remains more or less stable. I mean that the mind undergoes just a few changes that can be minimized with some exercises but the body… that's the problem. As the years go by, the activities that we can maintain become less, our mind tells us that we can do it but our…
Something to share. There are situations in life that make us look back and ask, *am I walking towards a good place or am I walking in circles without getting anywhere?* I have learned along the way of life that I have had to travel that the universe does not conspire against me, no, the universe, life or whatever it is called does everything possible to make my life always better. I have always thought that we come into the world to be happy but our own actions complicate…
