Naive (Nov 01, 07)

Was in the shower and thinking.....

If you have shared an experience, a connection with someone that you have always treasured and found special and precious, yet that person tells you he/she finds himself/herself naive to think highly of or be influenced by that experience or connection..... What does it say about whatever it was that you found special?

What makes something special and meaningful? What it means to you and you alone? Or what it means to you and whoever else was part of it?

If the former, wouldn't it would be naive to believe in something that is not shared / agreed by other people?

If the latter, and that other person trivializes it, then shouldn't you adjust your perception/ thinking, and agree that it is not special at all? I suppose it is much easier to trivialize something, deny its importance, and convince others of that, than convince others of the specialness of something.

I hate to feel naive.
