Knowledge VS Innocence #2

But being innocent is different from bring dumb/bimbo. Innocence is different from downright stupidity, naivety, ignorance and helplessness. We need a new definition for it. I think there are two important factors: 1. The belief in the essential goodness of mankind. 2. Taking joy in simple pleasures. Pitfall: point number 2 is baisedly linked to happiness. Subject may subconsciously mistake innocence as a cause for happiness, that that link is unproven and unrequired here. I think I've two different selves within me. After I had undergone my nightmarish childhood experiences, I'm presented with two options. Lose faith in all of mankind, or still believe in the kindness within humans. I chose the latter. But there are then two selves with me: one that smiles to everyone, and one that question is it is right to do so.
