Nothing matters to you once your dead. Other peoples' assessment of your life is irrelevant to you.

I would rather live my life happy with my decisions (part of which is helping people because of my own morals) rather than helping a bunch of people in ways that make me miserable.

One wonders why you have those morals if they mean so little to you. And if you don't need to justify your behaviors to others, why are you trying to justify them to me?

It's called having a discussion. You felt like participating, why isn't the person you are replying to given the same courtesy?

Um... Because I don't believe "other peoples' assessment of your life is irrelevant to you."

That is your reason for not being courteous?
