I've been thinking the past few... weeks... about oblivious people. Is it that they just don't know that makes them oblivious? And then, would this obliviousness actually be ignorance?
But then, their obliviousness is not harmful, but is ignorance always harmful? Or... does it just mean they are not intentionally harmful? But really, intention does not determine if an action is harmful. People with 'good' intentions can still harm and they do so all the time.
So... then maybe it's naivete.... But then, is that the same as innocence? Because I know innocence is not the same as ignorance, but maybe innocence can be the same as obliviousness...?
What ways do I hold these things in myself? What have I lost and gained throughout the years? And once something is gone, is it always gone or can it be re-gained...?
