Children are care-free, frank and innocent. Everybody knows that except the possessors of virtue. "Trailing clouds of glory they come...", sings the poet.
Do you think Innocence and experience are at opposite poles? Children mature and learn the tricks of the world, or "the way of the world" as they grow up. Growth doesn't decimate their childlike qualities. They still own what they were born with; but what they earn from the university of the world is something that changes ( dilutes or enhances ) their original style. But, this argument is not to conclude erroneously that growing into maturity is a bad sign. I can never suggest so.
On the other hand, I glorify that "Wholeness" that can apportion both in ideal measures. What matters is not more or less but the ideal proportion that necessity craves for.
The joy of innocence is great; but the wisdom of experience is greater! And, i believe we can keep both as essential parameters of wholeness of life, the life that engulfs both the bitter and the sweet.
