If ignorance is lack of knowledge what is the difference between ignorance and innocence?

In: The Difference Between [Edit categories]

Answer:

Innocence is a state that can invite opportunities for learning!.

Ignorance is a state brought about by the lack of desire to learn!.

Therefore, we cannot deem an innocent person as ignorant, nor affirm the statement in another way!. They are two completely different things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would like to add that the info above this i cant completely agree with. I have seen some innocent children with some ignorant parents almost raised to be ignorant. It could be a mental problem, it could be some event that went down who knows. Lets say for example some very religious parties raise their children to be very innocent at times. Their beliefs could be some misinterpretation of an old scripture or something we don't know. But if you've met these ppl they will be ignorant and mean towards people who do not accept their beliefs. After you grow up i believe you are no longer as innocent i know of tons of people whove lost all innocence. But they arent ignorant. As well as the other way around. So basically i don't believe these two words are polar opposites or even just opposites.
