My Life Philosophy in a Nutshell

[La mia filosofia di vita in poche parole.]



 




Il Pasqualismo è una filosofia di vita, non da tutti compresa, ma almeno si spera da tutti amata.

Purtroppo è quasi impossibile da tradurre in altre lingue, specie dopo tanti anni da quei gloriosi tempi e alle mentalità di oggigiorno ... Tuttavia, tentar non nuoce.

"Pasquale-ism" is a philosophy of life, not understood by everyone, but at least hopefully loved by everyone (I mean in Italy, in essence).

Unfortunately it is almost impossible to translate into other languages, especially after so many years from those glorious times and to today's mindsets ... However, trying doesn't hurt.

Totò and Mario (a very famous comic couple in Italy both in cinema and in life), in the gag they pretend to meet by chance and after some introductory jokes they begin to talk about an episode that happened to Totò a few days before and that intrigues Mario very much, as he's surprised to hear that his friend has been confronted by a stranger in the street and repeatedly insulted and harassed even physically ...

The excited guy kept repeating: "Pasquale here ... Pasquale there ..." and then again beating him up ...

However, Totò laughs as he confesses to those repeated mistreatment he suffered ... In the end Mario - irritated by that incomprehensible attitude, blurts out something like:

- "But what are you so laughing at? ... Why didn't you react ?! ..."

- "What do I care about it ... I'm not Pasquale! ..."
