One thing that always confused me...Pentes often act as if things are a certain way...in the hope that they will be that way eventually. Why?

It's like they think they can make things happen the way they want through sheer willpower...yet (in my experience) they rarely actually do anything (other than manipulate people) that might actually cause things to go their way...like ya know, work for it.

Doesn't make sense to me.
