Only Children

A child's innocence is it's ignorance. Innocence is easy to see in a child. When the image changes, our assumptions of innocence and ignorance change as well. But ignorance changes with circumstance, not just time. Wisdom may come with age, but age must be accompanied by knowledge. When age is not accompanied by the right circumstances and only the image changes, would we not be right to look upon them as being as innocent as a child? Unless you would prefer the alternative of looking on children as being as guilty as aged fools. Is there another option?

What do we know besides nature and nurture? Which one did you instruct?
