Defined as the lack of guile or corruption, innocence becomes our beginning, better yet known as our birth but has never been seen as our ending. The lack of something can also be seen as the loss of it as well and as it is normally believed that we as people are inherently innocent while possessing some sort of goodness then why does it seem to be unlikely at the end of our lives as well?

The gain of corruption and the influences that exist outside this bubble of untouched purity are seen as the evils of the world in which we all partake in, it is something unavoidable and we are hypocritically masked in some sort of illusion that what the world has to offer us is only substances that affect us negatively and as we gain some sort of influence over us we in turn lose the innocence that we had began with. This norm that we had created is the actual corruptness that presses onto us and creates or or recreates us in the end.

If we choose to believe this then we have to also acquire an understanding that the world can only offer negativities that strip us of our original beings. By doing this the truth is altered to have the world and those that stand outside the sublime innocence of youth as something that does not belong but we are forced to eventually endure. This can also mean that we as people do not belong, but by allowing ourselves to exist then we allow ourselves to stray from our authenticity if innocence is really our starting point or as holy as we believe.

When tied to a heavily religious aspect this innocence becomes tied to happiness in which virginity, marriage, and love circulate weaving these ideal sanctions around our lives. Innocence is seen as goodness, as a naivety appreciated however to allow such meaning to exist within this word then the world, the effects of the world, and the naturalness that accompanies it is not as natural as it seems. Natural desire and natural being as defined as linked to nature should be something we are born with but instead it is learned and not truly natural to begin with. What I am trying to do is not only confuse the thought process that has been created in the norm but also have us question certain aspects of what we assume is right, and natural, and normal, all the while analyzing the differences between these words when we apply meaning to them.
