Ignorance and Innocence

I was reading this book Lord of the Rings and was impressed with the way Frodo character has been projected and also When four hobbits in the companion return to the Shire they were described as they are well mature and innocent no more.

This very Big question that bathers me is when a man gains more knowledge and experience he changes and looses his innocence so by gaining knowledge the innocence is diminished. I still remember my childhood days where i was asking silly questions to my parents and others and was never answered, when i realised the answers i dont want them any more of it and i thought it would have been better if i hadnt known this information but as always information once heard cannot be taken back and will remain part of our life and will have its impact on our life.

Likewise there were many things either knowingly or unknowingly entered into my life which i didnt want to hear it or to know, but yet i hear it. After reading Novels like Harry potter and Lord of the Rings I always wondered are there really some persons like Gandalf or Dumbledore to give explanation of the event that has happened. But I never had one such

I take my question back to the ages of adam and eve where god has forbidden them to taste the fruit of knowledge, I think god might have thought the same way that by gaining wisdom one might lose his Innocence. But as people say that if it is destined for you it will definitely reach you. It might have termed better if eve hasnt tasted the fruit of knowledge.
