Just because your choices might not affect me, and they don't, at all, doesn't mean they're moral, doesn't mean they're good.

I would rank self-actualization, personal growth, as the second rule behind the golden rule, and there are many schools of philosophy where that's the case: aristotelian ethics, kantian ethics, existentialism, etc.
