Seriously. Why did Ram kill Ravan? Is it because Ravan is a bad dude and does all sought of evil things through his Rakshas kingdom? No, that's not the reason. Ram killed Ravan for personal reasons. Ravan abducted Ram's wife, Sita. So what's the moral of the story?
If someone is evil, and even if you have the power to stop or eliminate this evil person, do not do it. Fight only if it is personal. Ram did not even challenge Ravan, even though Ravan is a Rakshas causing trouble to people until the wife kidnapping episode. Ravan became a personal enemy by kidnapping Ram's wife and that's the reason Ram killed Ravan.
Why was this moral from Ramayan never inferred and taught (at least I never heard it!). Is this a loop hole in Ramayan or was it actually written to teach this moral?

You should have known that Ram was an incarnation of Vishnu to kill Ravan. This is known to all Rishis and Gods. But what about ordinary people, they don't have a clue about it. For ordinary people they are just random dots :-). So this whole episode of wife kidnapping etc is a way to connect those random dots, bring them face to face and finish the episode so that people can understand that you cannot just escape doing evil and there is someone to punish the evil. I think thatz the moral of Ramayan.
