Yes all this talk around naivete is really something, I especially liked the below which Vineeto wrote to Claudiu :
Ha, the addiction to sudorifically finding one’s way through an imagined jungle of chores and traps is not easy to abandon, hey, but it’s really worthwhile. Make friends with not knowing what’s going to happen next, with experimenting living without plan and scheme, don’t envision you have to ‘tick off’ ‘self’-set tasks. It’s not vigilance you need, it’s a change in attitude towards life itself and towards your fellow human beings. Re-discover how to play and play together.
Indeed that is exactly how I experience becoming more naive, it’s a change in attitude towards life itself, it’s a fundamental shift in how ‘I’ experience being alive, and with far reaching consequences. I experience it as if working from the very depths of ‘my’ being and out towards the “outer layers of the onion”, rather than the usual way which is something like tinkering with the outer layers whilst the core of ‘me’ remains unchanged.
