Ignorance and Innocence

We are ignorant because we don't know any better....we are innocent because we believe unconditionally...only one can survive adulthood ignorance is not subjective to youth it is not inherent to class or sex it surpasses all and spares no one....My little nephew and niece take for granted that magic exists there are fairies for everything and evil can be easily conquered with a large megazord driven by teenagers imbued with power by some ancient crystals....if only innocence could survive knowledge...knowledge that great hammer of reality which breaks all fantasy and dreams until all is left is bitterness and emptiness we fill with more knowledge...I envy them they live in a world were everything is possible but also I pity them their sandcastle kingdom unable to survive foaming waves of reality.
