It is probably usually to his advantage to do so as a starting point. However,once the other person harms or threatens you or yours,all bets are off. So far, I have been unable to discover a single,universal, absolute moral imperative.,

There is exceptions to most moral imperatives if you state them. But the spirit behind morality, which is metaphysical, is universal in all moral imperatives. And that spirit is divine.

Also morals with the spirit of just acting to what is our own advantage is not the morality we know of.
