I definitely feel that there's some moral obligation to help others. I'd definitely feel like someone who never goes out of their way to help anyone is a bad person, not morally neutral. That said, it's not really a huge problem if you don't. It just makes you a jerk.

I feel much more obligation to help my friends, though I wouldn't say that's a moral thing. Friends help each other, but I don't think it's any more morally right to help a friend or family member than to help a stranger. I'll admit I'm biased.
