An innocent
person is someone who won't do anything
wrong. Someone who won't cheat on you. Someone who won't steal your car keys if you
drop them on the floor. Someone who won't degrade others to feel good about oneself.
The epitome of innocence is the
human infant. Infants
smile frequently, thus making them appear more friendly. They have
big round eyes, making them look innocent. And they always cry when another insults them, blames them, or accuses them of a
wrong.
In general, traits generally associated with innocence include:
- Large, round eyes
- Youthful facial features (including small nose, small cheekbones, lack of a brow ridge, and round face)
-
Crying in face of danger or the risk of danger
- Niceness to others
- Conflict avoidance
As a general rule, children appear more innocent than adults. Children are smaller, have larger eyes, and cry more than adults. Children are thus more innocent.
This rule also applies to men and women. Women, in general, are smaller, have rounder eyes, and have more youthful faces than men. Women are thus more innocent than men.
A lot of people act innocent, when they're actually not. For example, they will behave "nice" to others but then will gossip behind their backs. This is because they
don't have the guts to be direct and honest. Innocence, therefore, may be a cowardice.
Also, many people won't
break any rules, not because they are good people, but
don't have the guts to risk getting in trouble.
