Naivete is something I have been afraid of because I am mistaking it for something else!
I am afraid of the consequences ‘I’ insert after naivete is there.
So, to use Peter and Vineetos chart, which is a divergence diagram.
A moment of ‘naivete’ happens. (the closest a ‘self’ can be to innocent).
Then, a moment of ‘blind desire’ happens.
Then a moment of ‘morality’ happens.
I am sequencing them, but I feel them all together.
My fear of naivete, is entwined with unrequited desire, and resentment of morality.
However, a moment of “wide eyed wonder, of joyous celebration, of playful abandon” is nothing to be afraid of, frustrated about, or angry towards!
