You're so right. The quote below, while a Christian reference, applies to all other major religions as well.

"Love and justice go together. Justice without love can be brutal, and love without justice can be banal. Love is the heart of justice, and justice is the social form of love."

Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary behind the Church’s Conservative Icon (New York: HarperCollins, 2009), 26, 138, 204–205.

Professor Marcus J. Borg served as Canon Theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon for many years.

His Sermons and Bible study classes were, and remain today in my memory, truly inspirationally life transforming!

Professor Borg, mostly with John Dominic Crossan have authored many must read, (in my humble opinion), easy to read scholarly concepts most pertinent to today's life living situations.
