This question just came flying off the keyboard - so I left it here.

Why write at all. I mean it. Why even bother. Who or what will read what was written and know what was meant. I don't mean say the words aloud, look up their meaning, understand the assembly of the thing. I don't mean the two plus two equals four sort of understanding.

I mean, know what you were actually thinking, feeling, knowing. Being with you, the author in that same time and place that you were in when you wrote the words.

The thing is - I don't know if anyone actually is reading the words as they were truly intended. But here's the other thing - I don't know if people should read the words as they were truly intended. Maybe the words assemble into something better than the meaning they were intended to represent.

I do not know. I think that I want to know. But I do not.

I suspect that it is just a manifestation of confusion.
