What if the two aren't connected? Where your behavior towards others doesn't impact others behavior towards you?
The other situation being what happens when others aren't being good to you and the one's you care about? Do you still feel the obligation to be good?
Seeing that we live in a society full of other mostly similar social animals, my and their behavior does impact each other.
And to your second question, of course I do. When one person steals from me I don't suddenly feel justified in stealing something myself.
