L’antica espressione latina “๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐” — il sommo diritto รจ somma ingiustizia — ci ricorda che l’applicazione troppo rigida e acritica di una norma, senza tener conto delle circostanze e dello spirito della legge, puรฒ generare ingiustizie. Cicerone la cita, ma giร Terenzio ne aveva intuito la portata: la giustizia, se privata della misericordia e del discernimento, si trasforma in oppressione.

Il cammino spirituale ci invita a un altro stile: quello della veritร che si riconosce, della giustizia che si accompagna alla compassione, del giudizio che lascia spazio alla comprensione. Solo cosรฌ possiamo passare dal sommo diritto alla somma umanitร .
English Version
Being highly judgmental often hides a sad and unresolved truth within the soul. It’s as if, by highlighting the mistakes of others, one tries to divert the gaze from one’s own fragility, from one’s own inner wound. Judgment then becomes a mask, a defense, a cruel fiction that attempts to cover the inability to see and embrace one’s own truth.
The ancient Latin expression “Summum ius, summa iniuria” — the highest law is the greatest injustice — reminds us that the overly rigid and uncritical application of a rule, without considering the circumstances and the spirit of the law, can generate injustice. Cicero quotes it, but Terence had already grasped its significance: justice, if deprived of mercy and discernment, turns into oppression.
On a deeper level, this phrase can also be read as a denunciation of an inner attitude: when one insists on being right at all costs, one risks losing contact with the reality of the heart. External rigor can become the mirror of an internal rigidity, of an unacknowledged sadness, of a personal truth that one does not want to face.
The spiritual journey invites us to another style: one of truth that is recognized, of justice accompanied by compassion, of judgment that makes room for understanding. Only in this way can we move from the highest law to the highest humanity.
