And in any case, how would you define it?

I guess I would see it as a virtue, and I would define it as harmless, lacking guilt, absent of evil. There's also the type of innocence that means "lack of experience" which I wouldn't characterize as being a virtue or flaw.
I am completely turned off by any use of a phrase like "losing one's innocence," or "the innocent children," when describing somebody losing their virginity, being victimized, or when used for political gain.

I would define it as inexperienced, untried and naive. If you're under 25 and still innocent, it could be a virtue. Over 30 and it becomes a flaw.

It is a virtue because the innocent one hasn't been tainted.
It is also a flaw because naivete leaves one wide-open to be taken advantage of.

Virtue. I see innocence as pureheartedness, without prejudice or pre-judgement, open, curious, child-like in approach to life and new things, but not childish.

harmless is a distinctive characteristic and it ends up in saintliness. Cunningness can't touch the harmless soul. harmless skill guileless, not silly. So harmless skill sparkling, organic, quickly, not having undesirable purpose for others......... Rishi Yoga instructor Divine well-being handing over Yoga at your place
