Between the two of us we have a pretty balanced act , I agree
Could I ask you why I'm naive?
It's not like I've lived in a bubble my whole life and haven't had to challenge many assumptions/observations about that life along the way, as I was and as I am now.
In my 20s, I imagine I may have found myself agreeing with many of the assertions you make....
But something changed inside of me and grew.
So I don't really like the naive comment man.... it's starting to get into the dig area, as opposed to making a comment and explaining what you meant, which is why I am asking you now, cause I know you aren't making a dig at me.
What if I were to say as a cynical person who has found renewed hope in my life, that you're way were naive and didn't leave much room for the mystery of life to live in?
I keed....
But please.... tell me why I'm naive,
in your view.
Naive=stupid/foolish as I've heard it used most and I hope that isn't what you are saying.
