I just discovered something very shocking these past few days.

I recently got curious about our old texts and how they handled opposite gender relationships and stuff and oh boy was I surprised.

Like, have our parents and grandparents just devolved from how our ancestors were or something? Because in our old ancient texts like the Vedas and ESSPECIALLY Kamasutra, dating, breakups and divorces under proper reasons were completely normal and accepted and premarital relationships(live ins) were considered a NORMAL THING?!. And since our society at the time was so very religious, it is proper to assume that they were pretty widely taught and accepted.

If someone here can correct me on this then please do but I just cannot comprehend as to how we devolved from that to today. Even touching and flirting in public was not shamed. With how loversl thy were, it just makes me look back onto how little our parents generations actually know about this stuff and only pickup the stuff they find to fit their ideology but leave everything else behind.

Who were those evil group that decided to misguide our society on our knowledge like that?
