Do you think when a child is born this amazing life force is so perfect that once it gets older the world actually wastes this innocence and perfection?

It is not "the world" that takes the innocence from the child, it is the people in the world.One of the first jolts a child gets is when some one tells them ,that there is no Father Christmas. I can clearly remember my older brother telling me this when I was about five, my world was shattered to think that this wonderful old man was not real.After this it seemed that one thing came after the other, and the wonderment disappeared. We should try to let our children remain children for as long as we can.

Very poignant observation, sad and true. I hold out hope that the child will not be totally corrupted or lose all of their innocence, and I feel that many do hang on to the innocence of childhood and carry it into adulthood, thereby making the world a better place.

It's no doubt that the world can taint our view but waste is a harsh word to use. No life granted is a waste. What we choose to do with our life is the issue. No, we all are not given silver spoons at birth and some have a much harder life than others but in the end.......we all answer to the same GOD.

Absolutely, the world totally takes innocence away from children as they get older, but they gain knowledge and understanding as they get older too, so I guess everything works out.

innocence is only perfection for the child, and often gets them killed because in this world innocence is not a survival trait.

A very depressing question, but I believe it's true.
I just want to believe there's a reason for that which does not include the saying that Satan rules the earth right now.
