What is Innocence and Can We Lose it?

Guilt means the loss of innocence.
What is innocence and can we “lose” it?
Innocence means unblemished.
We are all born innocent and we all have a part of ourselves inside that is still innocent.
When a person does something wrong, it’s not his whole being that’s doing it. He still has a certain part of him that’s innocent and wasn’t a part of deciding to do the action or actually doing it.
So even if we have sinned and feel guilty, we can still reconnect with the “innocence” inside us.
Our innocence is always there and will never leave us. It’s up to us to reconnect with what we were born with.
