Who am i?
I guess that's the first thing that I should tell you, its symbolizes a huge challenge for me. Because I do not know myself, and it is to be expected, right? Philosophers, scientists, politicians, artists and others have tried answerd to this same question from really different points of view and with little clarifying results. We are constantly changing. I am the same as a year ago? Will I be the same next year? Am I my body, my thoughts and emotions? Am I my actions? ***What I really am?*** You only needs to see the ***["Paradox of Theseus ship"](https://www.utne.com/mind-and-body/ship-of-theseus-identity-ze0z1311zjhar)*** postulated by the philosopher ***[Plutarch](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Plutarch)*** to understand the complexity of this question. Where the famous ship of ***[Theseus](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Theseus-Greek-hero)*** was constantly rebuilt and over the years there was not a single original piece left in it. Then could you say it's the same boat? As the philosopher ***[Heraclitus](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Heraclitus)*** said "No man can cross the same river twice, because neither man nor water will be the same."  If I can tell you something about me, is that I am a Venezuelan who has had to leave his country, going through circumstances that have been shaping me as a person. I try to use reading and writing as tools to decipher that little enigma of what I am. So I invite you to go through these letters with me in search of that desired answer and who knows. Maybe on the way you will discover who you are too. Greetings. ***Daniel Vargas***
