Innocence is not knowing at all but the child/person is willing to learn. Ignorance is is not knowing and not wanting to learn or refusing to accept instruction by choice or circumstance.

15. If you looked into the heart of your enemy, what do you think you would find that is different from what is in your own heart? I can't say I have any enemies.

I have given it to God and made many new friends!
