Innocent

Youth can not know how age thinks and feels.  But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
―  J.K. Rowling
[This reminds me of the saying: “I may not ever be as good as I once was, but I’m still as good once as I ever was.”  I’m not sure if that makes me old or young (but I’m definitely NOT guilty).  —  KMAB]
