Is it easy to retain one's childhood innocence throughout his life? how can one do it without being adulterated by religion, education and the main stream society?

Human life is marked by various transitions through different stages in one's life. The fact that we can become adults also means that we need to lose our childhood to become an adult. One cannot hold on to the naive innocence that characterizes childhood as we tend to think and question more as our minds develop and we grow older. Religion, education and being a responsible citizen in society makes us aware of the puzzling time when we can actually witness the loss of our childhood and transition into adulthood which comes with growing up and deeper psychological awareness into our own being and that of the world.
