There are two forms of injustice: material and moral. Material is when we harm another person with regard to material things. Moral injustice is when the wrong is of a moral nature, such as when a man deceives a woman, and if she happens to be an orphan, the burden on his soul is five-fold. Do you know that bullets will go after wrong-doers in war? There you can clearly see the justice and protection of God. There’s no room for dishonor in war. A bullet will find its way to an immoral person.
~Elder Paisios of Mount Athos
