Unaware

Lacking knowledge or consciousness; not realizing or understanding something. To be Unaware implies a state of being uninformed or oblivious to facts, situations, or potential consequences. It can be used to describe a temporary state of oversight or a more persistent lack of understanding due to inexperience, disinterest, or a deliberate avoidance of information. The term often carries a connotation of being unprepared or vulnerable as a result of this lack of awareness. It highlights a gap between reality and perception.
