Hear the Music

How innocent are we when we enter this world? Augustine's Confessions tells of the tyranny of children. Children who demand the fulfillment of their desires, and revenge themselves on the disobedient by crying, disobeying, etc. This is reasonable.

But what of the innocence of the intellect? How should anyone understand evil? I see evil, I see a fellow man hurting another intentionally, yet he does it in ignorance. He does not understand what he is doing.

I see this, and I see it in ignorance as well. Why should this be? How will we learn better?
