Yes, they are painfully simple terms. I know you don't mean anything subtle or tricky about them. However, as communicated, you are asking your reader to fill in some blanks about what you mean by them. In everyday conversation, that is fine, especially among people you know. In the world of philosophical discussion on the internet with perfect strangers, those locunae of meaning can be filled in any number of ways by your reader.
For example, if I wrote to you merely saying, "Please help me", and you were willing to do so, how would you help? Wouldn't you need to know some more information about the sort of help I need?
