The two routes to injustice are to treat equals unequally and unequals equally, to paraphrase Aristotle. |
We might agree that, if we could distribute talents, it would be unjust or unfair to distribute them unequally. |

They will still be punished retrospectively by being treated unequally by the courts. |
War service, for example, transformed the attitudes of many aristocrat officers, who shared its travails, however unequally, with the peasantry. |
During the process of cellular division, these elements become unequally distributed among daughter cells leading to distinct cell fates. |
