3、仔细阅读(10分)A central principle of a just society is that every person has an equal right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". The essential basis on which community is built requires each citizen to honor the rightful claims of others. The preciousness of life in a moral community must be so highly honored that those who do not honor the life of others make null and void their own right to membership. Those who violated the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a habit, must pay the ultimate penalty. This punishment must be inflicted for the sake of maintaining the community whose foundation has been violated. We can debate whether some non-lethal alternative is a fitting substitute for the death penalty. But the standard of judgment is whether the punishment fits the crime and sufficiently honors the nature of moral community.By contrast, Agape, or Christian love, is unconditional. It does not depend on the worthiness or merit of those to whom it is directed. It is persistent in seeking the good of others regardless of whether they return the favor or even deserve to be treated well on the basis of their own endless wrongdoing. What would a community based on this kind of love do with those who committed brutal acts of terror, violence, and murder？Put negatively, it would not live by the philosophy of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life". It would act to safeguard the members of the community from further destruction. Those who had shown no respect for life would be restrained, permanently if necessary, so that they could not further endanger other members of the community. But the purpose of confinement would not be revenge or punishment. Rather an ideal community would show mercy even to those who had shown no mercy. It would return good for evil. The aim of isolation is reconciliation and not revenge. Agape never gives up. It is ever hopeful that even the worse among us can be redeemed so that their own potential contribution to others can be realized.1. The idea that every person has an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is supportive of _______.
