No.  I don't have to exert willpower to behave in a civil fashion and do nice things for other people.  That's my default mindset.

Now, if I had to do something violent and cruel, it would take a phenomenal amount of willpower to psyche myself up to do the deed even if there was an indisputable need to act in such a way.
