innocent = useless ?

I would have to say a big 'hell, no' to that one.

In an old nursery story we heard of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There was grouchy, ugly, biggy, jaggy z, and whoever the Disney folk thought relevant to a child's mind in the good ol' days.

But, nowadays, we have come to realize that these little 'dwarfs' would eventually grow older and far more sophisticated than others. And others... well, they end up being plain dumb by their society's standards.

And to some of these people on God's green Earth, there is a group of people who have stayed within a small shell and think that they have grown wiser because of the fact that they grew older and with that being said, the truth of the matter is that they have only grew wiser because of their experiences with their lives and how it treats them to a certain extent and their ability to avoid similar mistakes.

Those individuals who think as such are the innocent type.

However, society - unfortunately for these individuals - categorizes them as a useless bunch of wannabes and to some extent; a burden to the community because they grow within them an infection of insecurity that is contageous because of their sad, depressive nature towards handling things in their lives although when pushed to the limit in matters of their own 'perfect' field, there's just no stopping them.

So does society lend a hand to these people for their potential to make up or leave them as they be because of the signs above them that says; 'warning: hazardous area'?

Society will and should try as much as it can to enable every individual with a certain disability - mental or physical - to open up to the real world. And to that lies it's responsibility to reach out an arm, a leg, or perhaps a whole body of organizations for these people to tap into their hidden positive potential so that they may, in the end, forget about their cons.
