No, you didn't explain it. You just gave examples of the type of thing your dogma asserts. If it is true that "Living well means living as you want and not as others order you to live," then yes of course the examples you gave are good. But you haven't yet justified why this is the axiom of your belief.
But this is always the case with dogma -- it doesn't have to be explained or justified. And anyone who dissents from it is, in the mind of the dogmatist, a bad person.
In fact I think that your belief is the dogma of our time, place, and social class. It seems so self-evident to people exactly because it is our dogma.
You say that as if you know what 'dogma' means. I read it and can tell that you don't (the word is not a pejorative).
