Testo originale - Italiano Andrea Sarno
COME VINGERE AL GIOCO DELLA VITA
Sei regole per essere felici
DEVI INELUTTABILMENTE SOFFRIRE O PUOI ESSERE FELICE?
A scanso di equivoci, ti dico subito che questo libro non contiene sconti, scorciatoie o “ricchi premi e cotillons” riservati a chi legge.
Si tratta di un manuale che descrive esattamente ciò che ho vissuto, senza edulcorazioni per far sembrare le cose più facili di quanto in realtà siano, senza entusiastiche promesse di rosee prospettive e con un approccio ispirato a un sano realismo.
Imparare a giocare secondo le regole richiede tempo, disciplina, umiltà, pazienza, fatica, perseveranza, grinta e determinazione.
Tutti fattori necessari anche per leggere queste pagine.
No, non preoccuparti, sto scherzando!
Non sono fondamentali durante la lettura ma dopo, per mettere in pratica ciò che hai appreso.
Per noi, figli della cultura del “tutto e subito” e del “plug and play”, quelle medesime risorse sono molto difficili da maneggiare. Anzi, se possibile, meglio mantenersi a distanza di sicurezza.
12
Oggi infatti è l’epoca della dipendenza da qualsiasi cosa che anestetizzi, semplifichi e riduca la fatica (può essere il denaro, le medicine, la tecnologia, l’alcol, il guru, la fede...). Tutto va bene pur di impegnarsi o esporsi il meno possibile.
Guardare la vita come un gioco in cui per vincere bisogna lavorare sodo e andare fino in fondo alle cose non rappresenta una novità assoluta. È infatti esattamente la medesima prospettiva che già duemila anni fa la saggezza popolare dell’antica Roma suggeriva come condizione imprescindibile per realizzare un’impresa elevata e ambiziosa: per aspera ad astra, che significa attraverso le difficoltà si arriva alle stelle.
Ed è proprio ciò che ti sto proponendo: un percorso per cui è richiesto di essere forti e tenaci e che ha come premio il progressivo assaporare la felicità.
Niente male! Che ne dici?
♦♦♦
Se giocare al Gioco della Vita diventa molto (o troppo) faticoso, vuol dire che si sta giocando male, che si stanno commettendo continui falli e che si sta rischiando di essere espulsi o sostituiti.
A dimostrarlo sono i fatti, che vanno osservati con distacco e onestà.
Se si è sempre più appesantiti da stress, ansia, depressione, insoddisfazione, frustrazione, solitudine, incidenti, malattie o altro ancora è probabile che il proprio stile di vita non sia appropriato, che si stia inconsapevolmente trasgredendo alle Regole del Gioco della Vita.
13
Sappi che la vita non perdona chi sgarra, lo marca stretto e gli rende l’esistenza un vero calvario.
Se tutto ciò ti suona familiare e la sofferenza è prossima alla soglia della tua capacità di sopportazione, hai la possibilità di cambiare la situazione.
Fermati dunque e chiediti:
“Io, adesso, a che punto sono?”
Ora posa il libro e chieditelo davvero!
Traduzione - Inglese Andrea Sarno
HOW TO WIN THE GAME OF LIFE
Six rules to be happy
MUST YOU INELUCTABLY SUFFER, OR CAN YOU BE HAPPY?
To avoid any misunderstandings, I can tell you that this book contains no discounts, shortcuts or "rich rewards and cotillons" reserved for those who read it.
It is a handbook that describes just what I have experienced, without sugar-coating things to make them look more accessible than they are, without enthusiastic promises of rosy prospects and with an approach inspired by a healthy realism.
Learning to play by the rules takes time, discipline, humility, patience, effort, perseverance, grit and determination. All of which are also necessary to read these pages.
No, don't worry, I'm kidding!
They aren't essential while reading, but afterwards, when you practice what you've learned.
For us, children of the "all and now" and "plug and play" culture, those same resources are tough to handle. If possible, it's best to keep a safe distance.
12
Today is the era of addiction to anything that numbs, simplifies and reduces fatigue (money, medicine, technology, alcohol, guru, faith). Anything goes as long as you can engage or expose yourself as little as possible.
Looking at life as a game in which to win, it is necessary to work hard and get to the bottom of things is nothing new; it does not represent an absolute novelty. It is the same perspective that two thousand years ago, the popular wisdom of ancient Rome suggested as an essential condition for achieving a high and ambitious goal: "per Aspera ad Astra", which means through difficulties, you reach the stars.
Moreover, I am proposing a path for which you must be robust and tenacious and whose reward is the progressive savouring of happiness.
Not bad at all! What do you say?
♦♦♦
If playing the Game of Life becomes very (or too) tiring, it means that you are playing poorly, you are committing continuous fouls, and you are risking being expelled or replaced. And this, of course, can is demonstrated by the facts observed with detachment and honesty.
Suppose you are progressively weighed down by stress, anxiety, depression, dissatisfaction, frustration, loneliness, accidents, illness or more. In that case, it is likely that your lifestyle is not appropriate, that you are unknowingly transgressing the Rules of the Game of Life.
13
Know that life does not forgive those who get out of line; it grabs hold of them: brands them tight, and makes their existence a real ordeal.
Should this sound familiar, and the suffering is close to the threshold of your ability to endure, you have the opportunity to change the situation.
So, stop and ask yourself:
"Where do I stand right now?"
Now put the book down and honestly ask yourself!

The Lottery
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet, and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.
To be continued...
Traduzione - Italiano
La Lotteria
La mattina del 27 giugno era chiara e soleggiata, con il fresco calduccio di una giornata di piena estate; i fiori sbocciavano assai e l'erba era di un verde vivace. La gente del villaggio cominciò a radunarsi nella piazza, tra l'ufficio postale e la banca, verso le dieci; in alcuni paesi c'era così tanta gente che il gioco lotteria richiedeva due giorni e doveva essere iniziata il 26 giugno, ma in questo villaggio, dove c'erano solo circa trecento persone, l'intera lotteria richiedeva solo circa due ore, quindi poteva iniziare alle dieci del mattino ed essere ancora finita in tempo per permettere agli abitanti di tornare a casa per la cena di mezzogiorno.
I bambini si riunirono per primi, naturalmente. La scuola era da poco finita per l'estate, e la sensazione di libertà non era agevole per la maggior parte di loro; tendevano a riunirsi in silenzio per un po' di tempo prima di iniziare un gioco chiassoso, e i loro discorsi riguardavano ancora la classe e l'insegnante, i libri e i rimproveri. Bobby Martin si era già riempito le tasche di sassi, e gli altri ragazzi seguirono presto il suo esempio, scegliendo i sassi più lisci e rotondi; Bobby e Harry Jones e Dickie Delacroix - gli abitanti del villaggio pronunciavano questo nome "Dellacroy" - alla fine fecero un grande mucchio di pietre in un angolo della piazza e lo difesero dalle incursioni degli altri ragazzi. Le ragazze stavano in disparte, parlando tra di loro, guardando i ragazzi da sopra le spalle, e i bambini molto piccoli si rotolavano nella polvere o si aggrappavano alle mani dei loro fratelli o sorelle maggiori.
Ben presto gli uomini cominciarono a radunarsi, sorvegliando i propri figli, parlando di semina e di pioggia, di trattori e di tasse. Stavano insieme, lontano dal mucchio di pietre nell'angolo, e le loro battute erano silenziose, e sorridevano piuttosto che ridere. Le donne, che indossavano abiti da casa e maglioni sbiaditi, arrivarono poco dopo i loro uomini. Si salutarono a vicenda e si scambiarono qualche pettegolezzo mentre andavano a raggiungere i loro mariti. Presto le donne, che stavano accanto ai loro mariti, cominciarono a chiamare i loro figli, e i bambini arrivarono con riluttanza, dovendo essere chiamati quattro o cinque volte. Bobby Martin si smorzò sotto la mano della madre che lo afferrava e corse, ridendo, verso il mucchio di pietre. Suo padre parlò bruscamente, e Bobby si avvicinò velocemente e prese posto tra suo padre e suo fratello maggiore.

Testo originale - Greco Νυχτοβάτης
Ο Νυχτοβάτης κοιτούσε το γυμνό του είδωλο στο μεγάλο, όρθιο, οβάλ καθρέφτη.
Για πολλή ώρα έμεινε ανέκφραστος.
Για κάποιον παράξενο λόγο, ήξερε ότι ερχόταν η στιγμή που το είδωλο θα συνομιλούσε μαζί του.
Για κάποιον άλλο παράξενο λόγο, ήταν έτοιμος γι’αυτή τη συνομιλία.
Κι έτσι, δεν τον πτόησαν οι αμείλικτοι αιφνιδιασμοί.
Κλήθηκε να αντιμετωπίσει τον πρώτο όταν αντίκρισε το πρόσωπό του. Δεν εμφανιζόταν ολόκληρο. Σχεδόν το μισό έλειπε. Μισό πρόσωπο δεν σημαίνει μισή ύπαρξη, σκέφτηκε, σημαίνει διπλός μόχθος για να χτίσεις την επάρκεια της ψευδαίσθησης.
Κλήθηκε να αντιμετωπίσει το δεύτερο όταν διέκρινε τα έντονα, σκούρα σημάδια στο ένα του χέρι, λίγο πάνω από τον αφαλό και στα πόδια του. Ήταν πλατιές, γκρίζες κηλίδες.
Ανασαίνουν, σκέφτηκε και τον ρίγησε η λέξη που δεν τόλμησε να γίνει ήχος. Κι ύστερα αντίκρισε τον τρίτο, τον ισχυρότερο αιφνιδιασμό.
Το είδωλό του… παλλόταν… έτρεμε… σα να ήταν μια παράξενη ολογραμμική προβολή και όχι η πιστή αποτύπωσή του. Σα να επρόκειτο για μια φασματική εικόνα χαμηλής ενέργειας που πάλευε να κρατηθεί, να μην σβήσει, να παραμείνει ζωντανή…
Πεθαίνω, σκέφτηκε ξανά και τούτη η τρομερή λέξη δεν είχε κανένα βάρος, καμιά θλίψη, κανένα συναισθηματικό περιεχόμενο. Ήταν μια απλή, καθαρή, σχεδόν κλινική διάγνωση.
Σήκωσε το αριστερό του χέρι και παρακολουθούσε να επαναλαμβάνει τη κίνηση το είδωλό του. Χάιδεψε το λαιμό του και το στήθος του. Και τότε το είδε για πρώτη φορά. Το είδωλό του πονούσε. Το απαλό αυτό ταξίδι στο σώμα προκάλεσε έναν μορφασμό δυσαρέσκειας στο τεμαχισμένο πρόσωπο του ειδώλου του. Μπορούσε να το δει καθαρά. Το φάσμα του πονούσε και αυτόματα έριξε ξανά το χέρι του κάτω.
Επανέλαβε το ίδιο μετά με το άλλο του χέρι. Το έφερε πάνω από το σημείο των γεννητικών του οργάνων. Όταν τα άγγιξε ο ίδιος μορφασμός ζωγραφίστηκε στο μισό πρόσωπο.
Το είδωλό του τρεμόπαιξε έντονα. Για μια στιγμή μάλιστα, ήταν σίγουρος γι’αυτό, χάθηκε εντελώς… πέρασε μια άπειρη στιγμή ώσπου να το ξαναδεί να αχνοσχηματίζεται εκ νέου στον καθρέφτη εμπρός του.
Μικραίνω… μικραίνω όλο και πιο πολύ… μονολόγησε μελαγχολικά και για πρώτη φορά επέτρεψε τη φωνή του να ηχήσει στο δωμάτιο. Εκείνο που είναι να αυξηθεί πρέπει να ανθίσει… εκείνο που είναι να συρρικνωθεί πρέπει να εκλείψει… είπε ξανά και ύστερα σίγησε.
Ο Νυχτοβάτης αισθάνθηκε μια παρουσία δίπλα του. Ήταν ο αδελφός του, ένας λευκός θηριώδης λύκος που κάθε πανσέληνο τον επισκεπτόταν για λίγες ώρες ως το ξημέρωμα. Ο λύκος ανάσαινε αργά και τον πλησίασε με προσοχή. Μετά κούρνιασε στα πόδια του.
ΣΥΝΕΧΙΖΕΤΑΙ…
Traduzione - Inglese The Nightrider
The Nightrider looked at his naked reflection in the large, upright, oval mirror.
For a long time, he remained expressionless.
He knew that the moment was coming when the reflection would talk to him for some strange reason.
For some other strange reason, he was ready for this conversation.
And so, he was not intimidated by the relentless surprises.
He was called to confront the first one when he saw his face. It did not appear whole. Almost half of it was missing. Half a look does not mean half existence, he thought; it means double effort to build up the adequacy of illusion.
He was called to face the second when he saw the strong, dark marks on one hand, just above the navel and on his legs. They were wide, grey spots.
They breathe, he thought and shivered at the word that did not dare to become a sound. And then he faced the third, the biggest surprise.
His reflection pulsed and trembled... as if it were a strange holographic projection rather than a faithful representation of him. It was like a low-energy spectral image struggling to hold on, keep from fading, and stay alive...
I am dying, he thought again, and this terrible word had no weight, no sadness, no emotional content. It was a simple, precise, almost clinical diagnosis.
He raised his left hand and watched his reflection repeat the motion. He stroked his neck and chest. And then he saw it for the first time. His reflection was in pain. This gentle journey through the body caused a grimace of displeasure to appear on his reflection's shredded face. He could see it clearly. His spectre ached, and he automatically dropped his hand down again.
He then repeated the same with his other hand. He brought it over his genital area. The same grimace was painted on half his face when he touched them.
His reflection flickered intensely. He was sure of it; it was utterly lost... it was an infinite moment before he saw it again, fading anew in the mirror.
I'm getting smaller... I'm getting smaller and smaller... he monologued melancholically and, for the first time, allowed his voice to echo in the room. That which is to grow must blossom... that which is to shrink must die out... he said again, and then he was silent.
The Nightrider felt a presence beside him. His brother, a beastly white wolf, visited him every full moon for a few hours until dawn. The wolf was slowly rising and approached him cautiously. Then he crouched at his feet.

Κεφάλαιο 1o. Ο πειρασμός
Άλλη μια μέρα ξεκινά... Καθώς ετοίμαζα το πρωινό μας, ταυτόχρονα προγραμμάτιζα την μέρα μου... Είχα τόσο άγχος για σήμερα... ένα κακό προαίσθημα... αυτή μας η προσπάθεια ή θα μας έκανε πιο ευτυχισμένους ή θα μας χαντάκωνε περισσότερο.
«Καλημέρα γυναίκα της ζωής μου» τον άκουσα να μου λέει γλυκά και άφησε ένα τρυφερό φιλί πάνω στην κορυφή του κεφαλιού μου.
«Καλημέρα αγάπη μου, πως κοιμήθηκες;» του το ανταπέδωσα γλυκά και αφού έβαλα καφέ στην κούπα του, έκατσα δίπλα του και άρχισα να αλείφω μια φρυγανιά με βούτυρο.
«Πολύ καλά, εσύ;» με ρώτησε ευδιάθετα και αναστέναξα.
«Πιο χάλια δεν γίνεται» είπα κάνοντας μια γκριμάτσα πόνου και χαμογέλασε με κατανόηση καθώς μου χάιδευε τον ώμο μου τρυφερά.
«Καρδιά μου μην έχεις τόσο άγχος, θα δεις αυτήν την φορά θα πάνε όλα καλά... Έχω ένα πολύ καλό προαίσθημα γι’ αυτό» μου είπε με αυτοπεποίθηση και ήθελα τόσο πολύ να νιώσω και εγώ το ίδιο... αλλά κάτι τέτοιο δεν συνέβη.
«Εγώ πάλι όχι» είπα ξεψυχισμένα και με έκλεισε στην ζεστή του αγκαλιά για να με καθησυχάσει.
«Κακός που δέχτηκα να έρθει ο ανιψιός μου... μέσα σε όλο σου το άγχος...» τον διέκοψα καθώς του χαμογέλασα γλυκά.
«Άλεξ τα είπαμε αυτά... Ο ανιψιός σου είναι μεγάλο παιδί... θα πάρει την σοφίτα και στην ουσία θα είναι σαν να μην είναι μέσα στο σπίτι... Το μόνο που θα έχω να κάνω, είναι να μαγειρεύω για τρία άτομα αντί για δύο... Η Μαργαρίτα θα έρχεται πιο συχνά για την καθαριότητα, οπότε γιατί να μην εξυπηρετήσουμε την ξαδέλφη σου... Πραγματικά δεν είναι πρόβλημα αλήθεια» του είπα καθησυχαστικά και αναστέναξε.
«Είσαι σίγουρη;» με ρώτησε για πολλοστή φορά και στριφογύρισα τα μάτια μου.
«Απόλυτα» του είπα πιο αποφασιστικά και μου χαμογέλασε.
«Είσαι ένας άγγελος» μου απάντησε και μου έδωσε ένα γλυκό φιλί.
«Τι ώρα θα έρθει;» τον ρώτησα για μια ακόμα φορά.
«Δεν είσαι και πολύ συγκεντρωμένη αυτές τις μέρες» διαπίστωσε με ένα λυπημένο ύφος.
«Είμαι αρκετά αφηρημένη, είναι η αλήθεια» είπα απολογητικά.
«Μην σε απασχολεί αυτό, θα πάω να τον πάρω από το κτελ το μεσημέρι και θα έρθουμε μαζί» με ενημέρωσε και εγώ κατένευσα αφηρημένα.
«Οκ τότε» του είπα και συνεχίσαμε το πρωινό μας χωρίς να ανταλλάξουμε καμία άλλη κουβέντα... ο κάθε ένας μας βυθισμένος μέσα στον δικό του κόσμο.
«Θα πας στην κλινική τώρα;» με ρώτησε την ώρα που έβαζε το σακάκι του για να φύγει για το γραφείο, αποσπώντας μου την προσοχή.
«Όχι πρέπει πρώτα να πάω από τον γιατρό να μου γράψει ακριβός τι πρέπει να πάρω, μετά να πάω από το φαρμακείο να τα πάρω και μετά θα πάω στην κλινική για έλεγχο και να κάνω και την πρώτη ένεση» τον ενημέρωσα και εκείνος κατένευσε.
«Καλό κουράγιο γλυκιά μου» είπε για να μου δώσει δύναμη ενώ με έκλεινε στην αγκαλιά του και του χαμογέλασα ζεστά.
«Σε ευχαριστώ καρδιά μου και εσύ το ίδιο» του απάντησα τρυφερά και του έδωσα ένα βαθύ φιλί πριν φύγει.
Traduzione - Inglese When you least expect it
Chapter 1o. The Temptation
Another day begins... As I was preparing our breakfast, I was simultaneously planning my day... I was so anxious about today… I had a bad feeling... that this effort of ours would either make us happier or ditch us further.
"Good morning, love of my life", I heard him say sweetly to me, and he gave me a tender kiss on the top of my head.
"Good morning, my love; how did you sleep?" I returned the kiss sweetly, and after pouring coffee into his cup, I sat down next to him and started spreading a toast with butter.
"Very well, how about you?" he asked me cheerfully, and I sighed.
"I don't think it couldn't be any worse," I said, grimacing in pain, and he smiled at me caringly as he caressed my shoulder tenderly.
"Sweetheart, don't be so anxious; you'll see that everything will go well... I have a good feeling about it," he told me confidently, and I wanted so much to feel the same... but such a thing did not happen.
"Not me again," I said breathlessly, and he wrapped me in his warm arms to reassure me.
"Too bad I agreed to let my nephew come… in all your stress..." I interrupted him as I smiled sweetly at him.
"Alex, we talked about this... Your nephew is a big boy... he's going to take the attic, and it'll be like he's not even in the house... All I'll have to do is cook for three people instead of two... Margarita will come more often for the cleaning, so why not help your cousin? It's not a problem," I told him reassuringly, and he sighed.
"Are you sure?" he asked me for the umpteenth time, and I rolled my eyes.
"Absolutely," I said firmly, and he smiled at me.
"You're an angel", he replied and gave me a sweet kiss.
"What time will it be?" I asked him once again.
"You're not very focused these days," he observed with a sad look.
"I'm quite distracted, it's true," I said apologetically.
"Don't worry about that; I'll pick him up from the bus stop at noon, and we'll go together", he informed me, and I nodded absently.
"Ok then," I told him, and we continued our breakfast without exchanging any more words, immersed in our world.
"Are you going to the clinic now?" he asked as he put on his jacket to leave for the office, distracting me.
"No, I must first go to the doctor to get a proper prescription for the meds I should be taking, then I have to go by the pharmacy to get them, and then I'll go to the clinic for a check-up and to get the first injection" I informed him, and he nodded off.
"Hang in there, sweetie," he said to give me strength as he held me in his arms, and I smiled at him with affection.
"Thank you, my dear, and you too," I replied tenderly and gave him a deep kiss before leaving.
