You are not a moral person unless you are there in a pinch, when the chips are down, and friends or loved ones are in danger, in dire straits, or in desperate need of aid and protection.
If you heroically rise to the occasion, you are a moral person.
If you turn your back on them, flee or slam the door in their faces, you are a ruthless, faithless coward.
It is very comforting for one's children and loved ones to know, in the back of their minds, that you have their back, that you are there when the chips are down.
