There is a moral intuition, strong in some and weak in others, that tells the better-off to give to the worse-off.The result is charity.A state of affairs is just if it is the outcome of just acts.
Redress（纠正） can only be effected at the expense of the better- off; but it is not evident that they have committed the injustice in the first place.
The acts of injustice that make some better off than others are the acts of Nature who spreads fortune and misfortune blindly, randomly across the economy. The better-off bear no responsibility for the injustice that strikes the worse-off. Nature is the guilty party. It is her misdeeds that cause the injustice that social justice must rectify.
