Because confusion can only take us so far.
Yes, characters are often confused to some degree, but if your story is going to work, at some point the character has to make a decision about what he *really* wants more than anything else in the world.
His choice is what should upset the balance in his story universe, and the actions he takes to get what he wants should drive the plot.
Now, whether the character gets what he initially wants, changes his mind about what he wants, or doesn't get what he wants (but ends up with something better/realizing he didn't want it after all) is up to you--the writer--but the end should satisfy the desire.
Be Brilliant!
