When a person is charged in a criminal court, for instance, with crime of a sort and when later on he is proved to be not guilty of any charge, he is declared to be innocent in the eyes of the law within the confines of that particular case or situation. This suggests that innocence in the eyes of law is a state where law has not been broken, the boundaries has not been trespassed, and a state of justice has been preserved, maintained and observed.
With this example in view, we could attempt to come up with some sort of understanding of innocence in the mind, as innocence in its most general sense is a natural virtue in human heart that is often contaminated by the wants of the mind of the world at large. A state of innocence, in my view, therefore, would be a state of being where nothing has been harbored in intent or deliberation, performed or acted out consciously and knowingly that would harm life, or diminish the value of life in any way.

Being a bit naive; believing that life is fair, if you are good you will have a good life and good things happen. Believing in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. Believing things literally, not being cynical and sceptical. Not having to face harsh realities like bills or consequences like speeding fines. Seeing a magic trick and believing its true, not sitting there sussing out the trickery being used! Its childhood really or its how childhood should be. You are kind-of protected in a bubble because your parents buffer the harsh realities.

They don't know any better. Don't know the circumstances. Not aware of what is ahead. Trusting any one or everyone. Lack of knowledge. Children have innocence, some adults are full of innocence.
Merry Christmas!!

Innocence is 'not being fully aware of real meaning of things and behaving accordingly with naivety'.
Innocence can be very 'cute' and 'charming' for the viewers; BUT for the innocent it can be very DANGEROUS...

A month old baby, an eight week old puppy, a day old colt, a newborn chimp.
These are some examples of innocence.

jean Paul Sartre said because we are all born with free will we are born to commit sin
so basically we are all guilty until proven guilty
i think he was talking out of his french a*se
my twenty month old twins freely farting and then looking round to see where the noise came from
that to me is true innocence

"Inner sense."
"Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, address this.

True innocence is the absence of any sin, it is true moral perfection.
