dilemma

Where does "You're supposed to understand" and "Okay, it's kind of my fault that you don't understand" really differ? Is there a distinct line? I guess I should have asked these questions a long time ago, when my deadline wasn't so close. Still, is there a sense of responsibility in the writer's mind that goes beyond what the reader knows, but to what the reader can figure out on his or her own?

Of course. That is what I think. Otherwise, I would not mention it.

However, despite my knowledge of this dilemma that separates the good writers from those subpar, I seem to consistently be tettering on the balance between incomprehension and comprehension.

In other words, my work is dull and my mind is equally dull from trying to read it. Hopefully I come out victorious in this irritating process.

But then, what is this dilemma to anyone but myself in this present moment at this present time? All things pass eventually, whether one decides to seize the opportunity or not. It is simply that I made the more difficult decision and I now suffer the consequences. Otherwise, I reap the reward. Either way, my official future does not benefit. That's comforting, is it not?
