[::: Innocence, Concept [ORIGINAL] :::]

Just something a little different i guess XD

A famous psychologist, i forget the name (and no, not Freud - there ARE other psychologists apart from freud you know >8o), but anyway he studied Social Psychology - and to quote his theories: "give me a young, healthy child and give me the choice of my own environment to bring it up in, and i can bring that child up to be whatever i want it to be - a musician, an artist, a scientist - a criminal"

This is just ... me reflecting the idea that maybe the person we are is only a result of the world we have been brought up in. Are we biologically at fault for our actions - whether we do good or bad deeds? Or are we just a cumulation of our event triggers throughout life?

If you bring up a child that might otherwise be good, in a world that values corrupt principles, who is to blame when that child does unspeakable things? Or should we believe that we are pure at heart when we are born and nothing will change that?

and just for the record, if any of you are stupid, i'm not pro-nazi in any way at all. What they did was terrible, obviously, and thats kinda my point. Its just an observation from my point of view. And, again for the record i'm not defending what they did or making excuses for them. It's just food for thought

And also yes, it is kinda meant to be a nazi in training, if you want to take it literally like that. She's being forced by her parents/whatever to live a certain way, but yet she is still a child and is oblivious to her potential evil, as she plays with the mouse.

I did comment on this earlier but DA took me to the whole ''page cannot be displayed'' and so on

really nice picture, like the first person, I like the concept of it.

Hmm... Interesting... So she is a Nazi in training then? That's a little creepy. Does the mouse represent anything. Like Idunno... Aristocracy? Scottland? Cheesecake? I think the full meaning is a little lost on me.
