Dilemma

Sometimes, it is difficult for me to understand some texts. I can't get the gist of them, and where they took their rise in. They are vague and too complicated for me to comprehend.

These are the possibilities:

Low self-confidence: I'm a shallow person; I am not able to understand deep subjects. Solution: Read more books and improve my comprehension ability.

Inevitable possibility: After years of studying engineering, I become a digital person. I just can feel and understand touchable and visible ideas. I'm blind to see all the colors, the only colors that I can recognize is Black and white. Solution: Communicate with people from other branch of science. Talk with them and ask for their perspective about different subjects;

Self-confident: A friend of mine is a poet. She says "new poems". I was reading her poem 10 times, and I didn't understand it. It was just beautiful words following each other with no meaning. I don't know Persian or those words really doesn't have meanings. I saw some people admired her. I believed that they didn't understand either, but they haven't been as honest as me. Neither was the poet; I bet. This can also be true for those texts that I don't understand. Solution : Stay honest and don't care if you don't understand something.

Selfish: I believe that the art is to write a complicated subject in the way that most people could understand, then why some people turn the bit around their neck to put in their mouth? If I don't understand it shows the weakness of writing. Solution: Ask them to explain you how it feels to say things with implication. Problem: What if they implied the answer either? ;)

Slur over: It doesn't matter you understand the same meaning that author was thinking about. The goal is to get something from every texts. Each person has his own point of view. Even if you don't understand anything it doesn't mean that this is meaningless; it means that you don't have common feeling with writer; that's all, and it is not a big deal.
