So I made a sacrifice to my own current well-being

bullllllllshit. This is a massive cope you tell yourself.

You sacrificed everyone else for you own pride, end of story. All the other context is a bunch of fluff trying to self-rationalize why it was okay to sell everyone else down the river. Because you can say you did it in some effort to "the greater good". Well, the kids in ICE cages don't give af how noble your cause was... and I don't either.
