All things . . . that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them.—Matt. 7:12.

 

Jesus taught principles that would help his followers to treat others fairly. Think, for example, about the Golden Rule. We all want to be treated fairly. Therefore, we should behave fairly toward others. If we do, they may be moved to treat us with fairness. But what if we have been treated unjustly? Jesus also taught his followers to trust that Jehovah will “cause justice to be done for [those] who cry out to him day and night.” (Luke 18:6, 7) That statement is, in effect, a promise: Our just God is aware of the trials we are facing in these last days, and he will cause justice to be done for us in his due time. (2 Thess. 1:6) When we follow the principles that Jesus taught, we will treat others in a just way. And if we have been a victim of injustice in Satan’s world, we can take comfort in knowing that Jehovah will cause justice to be done for us. w19.05 5 ¶18-19

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

We are all victims of injustice to varying degrees. From being born deformed to working hard all your life and having it all taken away when your no longer able to  think straight because you've grown old and feeble.  How we long for justice to  be restored to all mankind. How we long to live the life we were meant to live. We are born into an unjust world. Injustice is a form of abuse. If we are unjust with others, then in a sense, we are the abused who become the abuser.  What was is taught can be untaught as Jesus words teach,  treat others the way you want to be treated.

The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah

The world promotes the self first , lover of themselves attitude we live among those who don't show true love or treat others with justice.

The love amongst our brotherhood is refreshing and beautiful and a contrast to the worldly attitude.

 

We can add to the beautiful peace we find with Jehovahs people by making sure we love our brothers and upbuild each other, never dealing dishonestly or unkindly and being there if we can help or encourage each other.
