b"Chapter 2 NAIVETY Naivety is not a static concept. What may seem like naivety to some people may seem like kindness to others, or among other things, optimism, good faith, and innocence.But maybe you feel as if you have a tendency to be naive in life and you fear that it will cause you problems?You don't want to become distrustful or pessimistic, but you can't carry on as you are, because it hurts you.Maybe you are naive about relationships in the blind belief that they will magically work out or do you fall in love in the blink of an eye? Maybe you find it hard to read others and always think the best of them no matter what. Maybe you tend to think that things in life are just sunshine and rainbows, when the world, unfortunately, doesn't quite work that way. Maybe you have even been scammed in the past.Either way, your naivety has gotten you in trouble, and you want to become a little more knowledgeable and more informed in the face of adversity in the world, without losing that wonderful optimism and innocence you have now.72Germain Decelles"
