The hypocrisy of morality

I believe morality is imbibed in us when we are kids.
One might not brush one's teeth twice a day, but would hesitate when causing someone harm. That
is my personal definition of a refined human being. Separating them from the fanatics.

By a chance encounter, I came to see how kids are taught 'Right' and 'Wrong'. 
Twelve year old kids spouting poetry beautifying the effects daroo and nasha in their romanticised imagination. That goes unchecked. Even encouraged at times for it's poetic value.

When a molestation was broadcast over a gazillion news channels, the kids noted the elders saying - 'that woman has been put to her place'.
Movies of pure dreaded violence are screened without a second thought. And I'm not surprised that some of the kids' aim in life is to be a Don.

The hypocrisy comes to light now. When there is a scene showing two consenting adults making out on screen, that is blasphemous. The channel is immediately changed and the kids are shoo-ed away. The unspeakable has been brought to light.
'No no Madamji! We cant play with the values of the children'.

Of course. 
We The People shuns love. And lauds rapes. 
Peace be to the Bhartiya Sanskar.
