That is a philosophical terrain whose plumb you just delved in. We manacled ourselves with what the society say and leave ourselves to the whims and caprices of those who do not rank up to the dictates they profess. Man is deceitful...we would rather condemn overtly what we covertly indulge in.
The more reason why it is better to be promethean. Deviate from the norms so as to have inherent liberty.
I had to mull on your comment before I finally braced up to reply you. Not only have you hit the nail on the head and almost read my mind, you have given me the muse for yet another post. Thanks my good sire
