Postmodern people are allergic to chivalry. Nothing is as despised as virtue. Yet nothing is as tragic as lost innocence.
In the past, people understood this. Now we accept the loss of innocence as a given. Children are exposed to horrors in the media, and people regard that as normal.
The gradual acceptance of depravity has changed the culture so that good is perceived as evil, and evil as good.
Sure, I am aware of the world's brokenness, the disease of sin, the evil that lurks in every heart. Reality is ugly. By seeking innocence, am I living in a fantasy? Or could innocence be our true state?
Christians not only reach toward reclaiming our prior state of innocence in Eden, but a beautiful future promised by God.
