Contemplative Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be completely unattatched to twentieth century reality and to be once again filled with the nature of innocence...

And now I am reminded of my main character in a screenplay. His friend accuses him of killing an innocent woman. He retorts with: "What is innocence?"

Innocence n.
1 a : freedom from guilt or sin through being unacquainted with evil
b : chastity
c : freedom from legal guilt of a particular crime or offense
d (1) : freedom from guile or cunning; simplicity (2) : lack of worldly experience or sophistication
e : lack of knowledge

But what is innocence? I'm not sure I would go so far as to call it ignorance but nor would I call it complete purity. Ahh...purity is another great ambiguous word that we're tortured with.
The literal analyzers I mean, not us writers; we use ambiguity to our advantage.
