Innocence and naivete

Innocence is not naivete.
Naivete must be carefully removed.
Innocence is your true nature.

Dear Ivan,
this is realy great and wise to seriously think about…but where is the line between these two?? i am abit confused about it:(
Well, that’s the real question, isn’t it? Where’s the dividing line between innocence and naivete?
Here’s how I answer that for myself: Naivete implies both vulnerability and ignorance. Innocence, on the other hand, is the state of simplicity, purity, truthfulness, contentment, self-acceptance. True innocence is a state of rest in the heart. It does not necessarily mean one is unworldly. It means you know yourself well and have stopped struggling to appear other than you simply and honestly are.
