I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, experiences, and insights. Thank you.<br /><br />At first as I was reading your article, I couldn't help thinking, "Remain innocent? In a world of crime, murder, abuse, betrayal, and so many other horrors? How is that possible. Virtuous, yes. Righteous, yes. Innocent? I'm not so sure..." In my head I was picturing the pure, untouchable notion of innocence: a newborn infant, a butterfly, a rose, fresh snow. To me, it seemed that innocence was unattainable since it was so easily spoiled; that's what gave it an almost romantic appeal. <br /><br />But then I remembered, didn't Christ ask us to be like little children? Aren't children innocent? Though nothing that Christ asks is ever easily attained, it is always possible. Then isn't innocence possible?<br /><br />So, thank you for the reminder. :) It is too easy in today's world to get caught up in the cynicism of society, the drama of the news media, and the plagues of the world. I think everyone needs to remember that, though this world can never be an innocent place, we can still maintain an innocent disposition.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621476597123960864noreply@blogger.com
