What have you been the most naive about?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 08, 2008:
I was (and still kind of am) naive about the fact that not everyone defines things close to the way I do. I should word that better- the fact that the people who I consider to think and perceive things somewhat like I do, people on my 'frequency' if you will, don't always define things close to the way I do. It hurts when that comes to light- that someone you're close to thinks friendship or love or heartbreak are completely different things with different values than you when you thought you had similar perspectives.
The good thing about that is that after the initial clash of ideas, you understand each other much better.

Deep! i agree and i’ve also thought about this. how come i can’t see what you see? no one ever will.
Glad to hear that your learning from it. I find that not only do you understand each other much better but often times you include their idea of the word or idea or part of it with your own.
