Do we have a responsibility to consider others...including future generations? Some may call this a moral obligation.

Do we have a responsibility to consider how our behavior will affect others? I think this question presumes that the potential impact on others may be harmful, injurious, or otherwise negative. And it is asking if we should consider whether and how our behavior may negatively affect others.

For example, I may have fully considered and accepted the danger to my personal safety caused by my reckless and speedy driving. However, that behavior submits others to increased danger to their personal safety as well. Should that be a consideration of mine? Do I have an obligation to them as well?
