"First, it is the role of the State to create a just social order. The State has the obligation to make justice a fundamental norm of its policies. The State should work in a way that guarantees that each individual has a proper share in the community's goods. This is why politicians cannot be indifferent to the common good."

It seems that determining the "proper share" and defining "justice" is where we humans always get hung up.
