However, the taboo of the innocent is complicated by the inevitable progression of time. Innocence is inherently fragile, bound to be eroded by the acquisition of knowledge. There is a tragic paradox in the human condition: to survive and thrive, the innocent must eventually lose their innocence. They must learn of betrayal, pain, and mortality. This creates a difficult ethical landscape. How do we protect the innocent without making them ignorant? How do we prepare them for the world without shattering the very glass house we have built around them? This tension is the source of great anxiety in parenting and education. We treat the "little innocent" with such delicate care because we know that the world is waiting to teach them hard lessons, and we wish to delay the tuition for as long as possible.
