Balance,
> You mentioned about women being engaged in sexual relationships as soon as they finished puberty as an example. I do not personally see anything wrong with it, PROVIDED that the young woman has had the proper upbringing and knows full well what she is getting into. My great grandmother married at 13 and was married to her husband until he died some 50+ years later. In our current society, I do not think children are raise with the same sense of responsibility and hard work ethic that she was, so at the moment, I do not think that it would be healthy for a modern american girl to be engaging in sexual relations at that young age. However I think it is something that is more to the individual than society.-The entire modern notion of "childhood" is barely 100 years old.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
