i think moral support is a fundemental component to friendship. it is the kindness of others that can give use the courage to get through a situation with grace ! An open heart is one of the most valuable gifts you can give some one. i don't remember many things i have recieved. i do remember many times of encouragement and a caring heart !!
wrong last word
editI believe the correct last word to use in this article is "sympathy", not "empathy" (see the different definitions for this word on wikipedia itself). 84.210.21.34 (talk) 22:52, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Improvement
editThis article is a lot of different examples, and not a lot about the problem. People want to know tbe symptoms of the topic and how it can be cured, not the different types of moral support. Having a variety of refrences can also help boost the credibility of this article. --Annmohh (talk) 23:06, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Etymology
editI'm curious about the origin of the phrase: it seems that there is no moral (i.e. ethical) aspect, so "morale support" is much more appropriate. The standard form is definitely "moral support", however: did it perhaps end up this way through dominant mispronunciation of "morale"? AndyBuckley (talk) 21:13, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
