RIGHTEOUSNESS
Justice, we all want, but in general we call for it only when we are victims of the system's distortions, or the selfish exaggerations that people commit with an air of naturalness, however, we have difficulty in behaving systematically to promote the common good, which is the only and real form of justice.
Justice is not an individual good, justice is social, it is a common good, and although we are indignant when we are personally affected by ignominy, we rarely behave promoting social justice.
If we acted with righteousness and integrity even in the smallest details of everyday life, we would promote the common good and, although we would not fix the selfish world in which we exist, we certainly make a huge difference in the circle of influence that we build with our presence.
The active principle of righteousness, by its very nature, is never selfish, but oriented toward social justice, toward the benefit of as many human beings as possible at all times.
This is the only justice that, in the end, ends up benefiting us personally as well.
