What is true innocence?

Question

And....after it is inevitably destroyed, can it ever be restored?

Answer 1

innocence. can it be defined? i don't know. i have never been able to.

according to wikipedia its:
"a term that describes the lack of guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime. It may also be used to indicate a general lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin, or wrongdoing.
It can also refer to a state of unknowing, where one's experience is lesser, in either a relative view to social peers, or by an absolute comparison to a more common normative scale.
it is generally viewed as a positive term, connoting a blissfully positive view of the world, in particular one where the lack of knowledge stems from a lack of wrongdoing, whereas greater knowledge comes from doing wrong. This connotation may be connected with a popular false etymology explaining "innocent" as meaning "not knowing"
People who lack the mental capacity to understand the nature of their acts may be regarded as innocent regardless of their behavior. From this meaning comes the term innocent to refer to a child under the age of reason, or a person, of any age, who is severely mentally disabled."

i don't think the wikipedia defination is complete. something important is missing.

it can never be destroyed totally if you had it once. its the purity of heart which you might hide by using masks. if you want it back, you just have take those masks off you. there might be some masks which you dont even remember placing on you. you'll have to search those masks. they are the key to your true innocence. usually they are tied to you by betrayals, and other tough situations.
someone above said you would have to delete all those memories. true and tough.

Answer 2

"True innocence?" Such a thing does not exist. The human condition is flawed, even from birth.

There is a reason for our flawed state, however, and it exists within objective truth. How we try to find this objective truth is the key to understanding and judging the quality of a woman or man.

Think about it. Whether you are an Atheist or a Christian, at some point, you must make an inductive leap of faith. Just as God's existence can neither be proven or disproven, the same holds true for evolution -- at least, if we're looking at it scientifically (deductively). Either way, it is going to influence our behavior and our perceptions, which are inevitably important in the way we get closer to finding other, equally important moral objective truths.

(And if you give me that TRENDY, post-modernist, moral-relativist B.S. I'll prove Godwin's law right here and now!)

Answer 3

That moment between a baby entering this world and the Dr spanking him to make him cry and breathe. Cause once that first swat it landed, that baby has lost it's innocence to some pretty horrible thoughts of what he wants to do to the Dr. In reality, I do not believe that true innocence in whole is real, but it exists in part, i.e; I am truly innocent of murder. But I am possibly guilty of 90% of everthing else. Therefore, I do not know true innocence, so I am guilty of assuming this is what it means

Answer 4

Innocence, in true senses is a term that describes the lack of guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime. It may also be used to indicate a general lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin, or wrongdoing.

It can also refer to a state of unknowing, where one's experience is lesser, in either a relative view to social peers, or by an absolute comparison to a more common normative scale. In contrast to ignorance, it is generally viewed as a positive term, connoting a blissfully positive view of the world, in particular one where the lack of knowledge stems from a lack of wrongdoing, whereas greater knowledge comes from doing wrong.

People who lack the mental capacity to understand the nature of their acts may be regarded as innocent regardless of their behavior. From this meaning comes the term innocent to refer to a child under the age of reason, or a person, of any age, who is severely mentally disabled.

In some cases, the term of "innocence" connotes a pejorative meaning, where an assumed level of experience dictates common discoure or baseline qualifications for entry into another, different, social experience. Since experience is the prime factor in a point of view, innocence is often also used to connote an ignorance or lack of personal experience.-
