There is no essential difference between compelling one to the heaven and compelling one to the hell, between enforcing one to be a king and enforcing one to be a beggar, and even the difference between compelling one to be a good man and compelling one to be a bad man. likewise, one cannot be prevented to pursue his goal, whatever the goal is, going to the heaven or he'll, being a king or beggar, being a good or bad man. But once he harms others no matter it is for, he will be punished. He may be punished on the way to be a bad man when he harms others. He may also be punished on the way to be a good man when he harms others. Each one has the absolute sovereign in determining his life plan but the plan may not be allowed because it harms others rather than it is bad in itself.
I am going to develop a new utilitarian project which is viable to Rawls's contractarianism. The key points are the notion of happiness, and the distributive principle of calculation.
