Do you believe there are any positive aspects to being naive?

[laly520]

Can naivety contribute positively to society, or does it hinder progress?

[NathanDavis]

I really don't think so, no...

if we go by definitions, being naive implies a serious lack of experience, also implies a lack of wisdom, and it also speaks about a lack of a more proper judgment... and not of these things are good for individuals, and they are certainly not good for a society

and... if we approach from a more "positive" side about being naive, which some argue is that naive people are more positive and believe in the good of people... well, one can still be more like this but without lacking the critical thinking and common sense

[laly520]

that actually make lot of sense now

[Billlewis]

No, not really, because there is so much more at stake now.

i don't mean to sound negative, but this isn't the time for rainbows and unicorns. I wish we could thry stole tow them from us.

The good side of it is that with naïveté comes positivity, believing the best in others helps inspire others to see the good in people and in life and being a good person. We add a bit of light anc colour to the world, we help others; and we’re humble. So we learn from past mistakes without letting our egos get the better of us.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't think so...

being naive is painful... people don't respect you and use you...

[PositiveNote]

Ha! Stay naive as long as possible because you can make decisions or be impartial to most of the world! As soon as you lose the naïveté the world turns from ugly to downright nasty!

[NaultD]

It is what it is. You're just born and you're naive the ability of walking. No shit Sherlock. What do you want from people just learning life?

[Dongie]

You're only naive to those around, who've been around.

[Dongie]

Ok, you can say it can do both. It can bring joy and a sense of innocence, but it can be taken advantage of. We need experience to grow when it's used to teach.

[laly520]

yes, this!

[Chazmatazz269]

Ignorance is bliss, for real! Dumb people are always happier than their smarter counterparts.

[sheenagwapa]

as long as you have a good heart you are in the right path

[exitseven]

I do not think so. The more you know the better off you will be,.

[LiamS95]

It restricts a person's ability to understand the reality of many situations and puts them at risk of negative situations.

[AngryCarl]

That's like asking if there are any benefits of Brexit. The finest minds have worked on the problem for years, but so far... nothing.

[Still-alive]

a blissful unawareness lol. there's a reason 'ignorance is bliss' is a common saying.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Less stress due to the lack of awareness of anything going on but it comes with a very big risk.

[Angie03]

Less stress inthingk it’s they don’t care or not worried about it.

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure?

[laly520]

its totally fine

[Ms_Facesitter]

Obliviousness is bliss.

[Apple1996]

Less stress
