  1. The only problem with this expression is that it is very broad and vague, so you can understand it very differently.

    In general, the Latin “sum cuiqua” is an expression of the principle of justice. “To each his own” means not equally, but in proportion to his merits or according to certain criteria. This is what confuses some, although in fact all jurisprudence is based on this provision.

    This phrase has become particularly problematic due to the fact that the same formula “Jedem das Seine “ ended up at the gates of the Buchenwald concentration camp. After that, the phrase took on a radical meaning, according to which the logic of inequality extends even to the fact that someone is not worthy of life at all. Simply because of who he is (for example, a Jew), and not because he did-as in legal practice, where the death penalty has existed for centuries.

    In any case, the phrase without these cannibalistic extremes (in the spirit of “and you should be food today”) is really wise. Maybe that's why it is so often used (from coats of arms and slogans of different countries/cities/organizations to advertising slogans – from Nokia or Beeline). In the end, fair pay, author's rights, non-interference with other people's tastes, and many other reasonable things quite fit into the expression “to each his own”. Although it is worth remembering that such things are achievements of society, and not a matter of course. The reality itself, alas, may turn out to be quite cannibalistic.

  2. The phrase “to each his own” clearly makes it clear that the person does not intend to discuss and specify something, he is simply not interested in it, that is, in fact, a conversation about why he likes this and not that will not take place. Whether a conversation break can be called a problem, probably yes.

  3. In my opinion, the point is not even in the statement itself, How can you judge a lying stone, whether it is harmful or not? The point is how it will be applied. The stone can be used in construction, and it can also be sent to the head of your opponent. So in the expression “sum kuikwe” or “Jedem das Seine”, it all depends in which context to use it.

  4. It's not wrong. It is not harmful.
