Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder hi

Summary

This quote suggests that attempting to help someone against their will is comparable to taking away their autonomy and freedom. It implies that forcing assistance upon someone is akin to acting against their best interests, denying them the right to make their own choices and decisions. Although well-intentioned, such coercive actions can be seen as a form of control and suppression, potentially causing harm or even killing their individuality and independence.
