Comment: The quality of innocence is normally attributed to the purity and beauty of a new baby. It is such a compelling quality we are instantly drawn to that bright bundle of pure potential. As time goes on, adding the qualities of sincerity, grace, charm, and wonder to innocence blossoms the personality dynamically into a splendid, mature soul.
