Core of Innocence
November 3, 2009We must always maintain that core of innocence within us. Not to let what’s going on in the outside world get to us. Not to let people who do not matter get to us. To keep what’s with-out without and what’s with-in within. Because that’s the centre of our soul.
Influence is one of the factor that changes innocence.
However, if one is firm and strong enough, nothing will change it. =)
“We must always maintain that core of innocence within us” Agree. But… can we? We have to try very very hard.
Everyone started off as an innocent baby. But as we grow up, start to interact with all kind of people people and being exposed to the society, it’s easy to change that innocence in us.
Perhaps, this innocence will only come back when we are old…when we have seen enough of this world…
Tks for the timely reminder. Yes, we should ‘be true to ourselves’ and for me, i always try not to let circumstances change me ….i am still trying and it can be challenging at times. Would you say that you have maintained the core of innocence?
Having a sense of right and wrong, is very important. This world is very complex. Being innocent doesn’t mean not being aware of the bad that is going on. It’s keeping the intentions pure. And being a good person as much as possible.
The centre of the soul is you indeed.It is just your
truly myself.It is a person who you really are whether you are alone or when you fall asleep.
You can be and you can see how truly your mind act.
Soul is just one of pieces of your true personality
I will maintain my innocence and stay that way forever
Elvin hope U too :-)
Elvin can you maintain the core of innocence within yourself then? What’s your definition of “innocence”? To me, innocence is only good during kid stage, a kid is pure, innocent without stress from the society and protected. During adult stage where we are exposed to the outside world, innocence is no no cos a kid has grown up and to face the world, not the protected kid anymore, have to know how to protect himself against evil. Innocence can get in the way if there’s no wisdom to help.This is why adults are so stressful!! It’s a natural growing up process, we just lose it as we grow as we face the world, it’s not within our control to maintain it.
The biggest destruction to innocence is self.
The dellusion to accept who is the real self.
The failure to realise who is the true self.
and
The constant denial that one is living in; he or she who perceive “who he or she might seem to be” as “who he or she is”.
Ironically, conformity is the deadliest tool to innocence, i feel…
It has become such a natural process, that we have long forgotten how we actually started off as or how we were right from the beginning.
Even if one has taken the roule back to innocence,
he or she will never come to realise if the path has come to an end or is there even innocence to begin with?
Changes are indeed scary.
A subconscious and irreversible process.
i believe the meaning of innocence in the context means staying true to yourself and not about the process of growing up which is maturity and not all younger people are immature as compared to their older counterparts. (:
definitely everyone has to grow up, and everyone started off at stage Innocence. yet there are people who grew “wiser” in the mind. they have allowed their Brain, which can be a deadly device, to rule their life.
its about discipline here – in the Heart where your soul lies and where your conscience hides.
are you a leader, undeterred and non-conforming or a follower who allows someone to take over your mind with a snap of the finger?
Ironically, life’s tiredness stems from the work of endless tries as one demarcates the marked boundaries of the insider outsider dichotomy.
Oh well.
