Confusing

I will do anything for my friend. I will die if needed for my love. I will look after my parents well. I will help the poor. I will be good towards environment. I will be a Vegan. I will never lie. I won't discriminate againest any individual based on caste, color, creed,..

Am I mixing emotions and morals here? Why should I do anything for my friend? Is he/she not capable of helping himself/herself? Why should I die for my love? Why should I help the poor who are poor not because of me. Good towards environment, do I understand what that means? Vegan, then why de we raise chicken, sheep, cows And why dragon teeth, why? (sorry Amitabh Bachan, I had to imitate) Lying, I see no reason why I shouldn't lie when it suits me. Parents, yeah, I should set a good example to my children and hence look after my parents well. Discrimination, isn't that programmed into my genes. I liked girls with certain common features. I assumed that all dark, heavy set personalities are not to be messed with. (probably under influence of movies)

Where is this going? Emotions, morals, are they acquired or natural responses to allow the principle of "live and let live". Why are we (atleast I am) afraid to investigate these holy cows further? Do we come into this world with an empty slate know as mind and then allow the world to fill that? If it is so, world pushes such information into our brain that will ensure that we are not a threat to world's stability. And once we are sucked into system, we do the same to others, I mean our kids. We will ensure that, they remain no threat to others and hopefully to themselves.

Ok, this is confusing. Sorry for wasting your time.
