Carlo Lingiardi: THE ACCIDENT DIDN’T KILL ME, I’M STILL HERE STRONGER THAN EVER

THE ACCIDENT DIDN’T KILL ME, I’M STILL HERE STRONGER THAN EVER

My dad, (Saint Gianfranco) often said what Nietzsche defined in his philosophy or that “whatever doesn’t kill you make you stronger” well this is exactly what I think of my two treasures very often – especially when I’m depressed and ask to myself why the hell I hadn’t died – seeing them being so strong that they have been able to overcome losing their loving dad right before their teenage years, really makes me want to stick around with even more determination (if at all possible).

In fact I can clearly see in them both the distinctive “Lingiardi’s determination” to keep fighting to move forward no matter what.

I must – at this point – reveal my approach to my philosophy class while at the college of advanced mathematics while living in Verona, Italy.

In fact while the very subject of philosophy was somehow foreign to students of mathematics, physics and chemistry, its professor was someone I would at most listen to talking about wine quality or a soccer game. In fact I remember well this professor starting each of his lessons by smelling a filter less Camel cigarette like sommelier smell wine to determine its quality and origin, right before lighting and smoking it (normally forbidden).

These were just few of the reasons that made me totally despise his class and the study matter, in fact I’m not at all ashamed to reveal that my knowledge in philosophy is very close to 0 (zero) if not negative (below zero -0).

While I was thinking about my dad, a couple of days ago, this statement from Nietzsche came to my mind and – obviously for me – I made a google search on it that had me learn about this philosopher who had such a strong influence on the history of Europe.

This convinced me to write this post about this famous expression AND apply it to myself and to my two treasures, which never stop to amaze me for both their resilience and inner strength.
