Yes sure it is the modern life style which tends to drive people towards immoral acts like illicit relations and other sins. I agree such tendencies have been persisting through all the ages but there is a difference. It is very hard to avoid illicit relations, but today it is going out of limit in so called moderns. Mostly people in this world have more than one partner throughout the life, but in India people don't want their children to indulge in illicit relations, which means they say to their kids that we couldn't avoid it but if you can then please don't do so. That is the Indian culture. If parents keep on warning against such immoral acts then good charactered people will be taking birth here. But in West parents don't give such teachings to their kids.
I would like to suggest that don't overestimate the science. Science had claimed some years back that a girl could be turned into a boy, but what happened? That claim proved baseless. These days science is again claiming something special. According to the scientists they are very near to invent such a
pill which will enable the human being to live for more than 100 years. But science has no answer for that
82 year old Mataji who has been living for last 65 years without eating or drinking anything. Be educated as much as you can, but don't do such things to others what you don't want others to do with you. Will any body want that his sister has a number of boyfriends? If not, then why are you doing so with others' sisters? Will anybody want that his wife has post marital affairs? If not then why are you doing so with others' wives? Same thing for females. If there is some power running this world and we all are creations of that power, then surely that power punish who indulge in such immoral acts and good doers certainly are rewarded. I am just sharing views here, otherwise I am not going to worry if this whole world is busy in living life to the maximum.
