Watergaze, you asked if bends do not arise from the longing of something we don't have. I think they can for some and they might not for others. Like your story of the two sons from a drunken father, each turned out differently due to personality.
Yes, and there might be a Catch 22 in the scenario you point out. However, for the lazy person who enjoys the consequences of their actions, I would say that type of person may enjoy being lead, taught, and trusting in others, but with the right individuals or community. We each need a certain arrangement to be made comfortable and I wouldnt call this a Catch 22, I would call this waiting for what one wants and needs. Being wise enough to wait for what's beneficial and disregarding what is not. This doesn't necessarily lead to a bend. It just gets tossed into the pile of life experiences to learn and grow from. In some cases the behavior you mention could lead to a bend, it just depends on the personality (like how you point out people respond differently due to personality).
JJ, yeah, different sides of a coin. Some prefer head, some prefer tails.
