Doing what you know is wrong

Just now a friend called me and we were into this topic. I'm sure we've all heard of people sayin' these exact words when it comes to doin' thing we all know is wrong, i.e. stealin', drugs, murder, tax evasion, etc. So why do people still commit it if they know it's wrong? It's because morality is not the only factor that's taken into consideration when rationalizin' a decision. Human psychology is way more complicated than we can imagine.

Let's take a persona of a dietician. He's supposed to be a health freak who order a protein shake at the cafe, carry his own low-calories sweetener in his pocket at all times, and a part of his home smells like a pharmacy. But knowin' McDonald is unhealthy, he might still eat it in spite of that.

And did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't? Tryin' really hard to fight your feelings, but you just couldn't. You fall deeper with each passin' day, but try to hide it in every possible way. You keep explainin' that he/she is just a bud, but deep inside you've fallen in love. You keep pretendin' that you don't care and remindin' yourself it's not right for you two to be, but on your mind you are thinkin' of him/her all day long. How long can you pretend? Will you be hurtin' anyone involved? There are many factors you should consider. Ask yourself if you are doing the right thing, don't live with regrets.
