Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

Help - to give or provide what is necessary to accomplish the task.

The task is to steal a car - he is asking you to "help" him accomplish the task of stealing a car.

Yup, to use the literal sense of the word 'help' would mean they would help you steal the car.

To use the moral sense of the word 'help', they would do what they could to stop you from attempting it.

Moral sense of the word?

Sorry, I am not understanding.

When you help someone, the outcome of the help can be moral or immoral, productive or non-productive.

But the word "help" is not moral.

And moral is one of the words I utilise incorrectly. I think I was trying to say something like "the person would feel a moral compulsion to draw the person away from their immoral act". I think that's the right way to say it anyways, not really surely.

However I'm happy to admit that I use a word wrong and then learn how to better understand it so that I can use it properly.

The quote would make more sense if it said "you don't need a reason to save someone" I suppose?

Is that what you mean by "moral meaning"?

Help means "save"?

You have a point, it'd be kinda odd to use 'save' as a way to say 'help'.

Hmm...

When someone is drowning they cry for help in hopes that someone will save them.

So to offer 'moral help' would be to save someone who required help.

Though help can be used in two different ways.

Someone can require help - They want to receive something
Someone can offer help - They want to give something
