Innocence

What happens when we feel nobody cares about us, we are mistreated in our relationship, we get pushed around at work and betrayed by our friends?

Our innocence dies.

We expect the worse, we are afraid that all these bad experiences will happen again and we make sure that it will not happen again.

We are shutting down emotionally to make sure nobody can ever hurt us again, we are ready to fight anybody who wants to push us around and don’t trust anybody besides ourselves.

But what kind of life is that? It is a sad life, a lonely life, a dead life.
