Innocence & Ignorance.
Everyone has strengths & weaknesses.In great epics Mahabharatha & Ramayana weaknesses of opponents were used to defeat & finish them. In Mahabharatha , Lord Krishna who knew enemy''s strengths &weaknesses was responsible to slain of great Bhishma, Drona Karna & other warriors & win the war for Pandavas.
Similarly, Rama & Lakshman could score victory over Ravana , Kumbhakarna, Indrajeet & other giants exploiting their weaknesses in Ramayana. It was Vibhishana who knew enemy's strengths &weaknesses was of much avail to them
Similarly, man has to know their as well as others strengths & weakness to lead life successfully.
Innocence & ignorance could be one's strength or weakness. Man must know them & make use of them to their best advantage.Wherever innocence & ignorance prevails there preventive measures are not usually taken at all. Man opens his eyes only after something takes place.
Everyone is born innocent & ignorant. There afterwards only with their efforts & opportunities they become wiser & wiser.What all ignorance & superstitions people have ? A man wont be usually fully aware of his innocence or ignorance. What all one won't do to be rid of them ? The thought that I must become wise must enter a man in order that he tries to get rid of them. Only circumstances could do that. If a man is innocent & ignorant there is no difference between him & an animal. In society an innocent & ignorant man usually has no recognition at all also.

" That which enables one to distinguish markedly between a man & a child is innocence. Child is innocence personified. It doesn't know any of the hazards of life at all. Children are the virgins of life, having never known, heard, or seen evil.
One who is knowledge hungry wouldn't be ignorant at all. Ignorance is sometimes only desired otherwise it is dangerous.
