Are we to assume that he was an angle to begin with? A rather bold assumption for any human. The other assumption is that angles are innocent, also a bold assumption for beings made in the image of G-d. Morality and innocence are not the same. While we may never be able to recover our innocence, the loss of innocence may teach us the lesson of greater morality. Think of St. Augustine, for example. Perpetual innocence is not possible on earth or in Heaven, but because of the gift of free will, we are able to make moral choices, even if we have lost our innocence, or perhaps because of the loss. Buds, as the one in your image, fall to the earth, but often the tree from which they fell will be more greatly adorned. Big Hugs, Kisses, and Eternal Hope, Dear Friend.
I agree with your thoughts. Losed innocence it´s not the problem, the problem is losing morality. Without morality, we are only animals. Lots of kisses, my dear friend.
