Injustice therefore also is differently
constituted in each of these relationships: wrong is increasingly serious in proportion as
it is done to a nearer friend. For example, it is more shocking to defraud a comrade of
money than a fellow-citizen; or to refuse aid to a brother than to do so to a stranger; or
to strike one's father than to strike anybody else. Similarly it is natural that the
claims of justice also should increase with the nearness of the friendship, since
friendship and justice exist between the same persons and are co-extensive in range.
