how does charity complete justice -that is how can you give/do more to someone beyond their deserts, without doing an injustice to yourself?

Likewise how can the superior (God, the intelligent, rich.) help the inferior w/o infringing on justice since the inferior don’t have a claim to things beyond their nature or station.

Why should Jesus wash the sandals of the disciples?

Charity may complete justice when justice can be paid.Ex.I accidently harm your child.I can take the harm done away but I may compensate by doing you a favor.Or if I stole but couldn.t pay it back I may be do some act of charity in restitution.You said complete.you didn’t say overcomplete.
