I think the common ideas of ethics is that the kind of personal reasons matter a great deal.
By your standards stealing something from a stranger (whom you are told not to interact with) because you are greedy is ethically identical to giving them a gift because you feel generous as both are personal reasons.
The fact that there are communities with strange ethics, in no way implies that our rationalist community shouldn’t have it’s resoned ethical norms. We also aren’t the work peers of the OP.
