Imho:
Life is a journey, goals are small part of that journey. Goals can be personal goals, something that matters to you or slightly different kind of goals, something that matters to others. To achieve those goals that have value in the eyes of other people you often have to disregard their well being, which is a bit odd but that's how it goes. I guess it has something to do with animalistic nature of men, which is still present.
Individuality is the goal we are striving as a population of human species. Being able to function without relying on each other will be the definitive proof that we defeated nature aka order of things on planet earth.
Individuals have their own moral code, which is quite often something society consider the high morality. They rarely hurt others to achieve their goals, because they respect others as much they respect themselves. Those who choose no means to achieve their goals usually consider themselves strong (because of the goals they achieved) but in reality they are weak link of humanity because their moral and value codes are almost nonexistent.
So, I'm against using every possible mean to achieve personal or group goals. But that's just my own opinion, as always
