I don't think I'd go so far as to say we have no choice but to care. To borrow from the great PhilHellenes from youtube (wonder what happened to him, by the way?):
I try to be a decent person because there is someone who watches over me, who knows everything about me, my every thought and desire. He will be with me my entire life and judges everything I do; ultimately I am accountable to him for my behaviour and seek his approval while fearing his judgemental gaze.
He's in the mirror.
