Knowledge of what is just, and what justice is, is almost as close to an innate knowledge as we as humans have. This is verified by the existence of our conscience. Even a baby or small child knows at some level when they have been treated unjustly. They may not recognize injustice in all of its forms because they haven't had the experience to recognize all forms of injustice and deception, but they instinctively recognize unjust behavior.
Thus I believe this ability is something that God either created within us, or the Holy Spirit teaches very early life. We all know what is just and and what isn't. People may try to confuse the issue for reasons of personal gain, but it is one that is black and white. Something is either just or it isn't. It matters not who initiated the action, the same principles apply. Principle doesn't change because of who acts, or doesn't act, for injustice can result from either.
