I can't do the things I want to do!

Hi everyone! Have you ever wondered why it's hard to do the things that we ought to do and it seems easy for us to do the things that we ought not to do? What I mean is that why is it so hard to follow a discipline or a value or a principle, and why is it so easy to just do immoral, illegal, or bad things? Is there something beyond our "will" that controls us?

I think many people do things that they really should not for one simple reason. It gives them some sort of rush. Most people do deep down know these things are wrong. However, it is like that Forbidden fruit that they must grasp. Some cave into the desire to do it and the artificial thrill that it brings. I think it is just to add some excitement to life, even if it is the wrong kind of excitement.
The things that we allowed to do, some people just cannot get excited about them. Simply because of the fact that they are allowed to do them. Therefore, it does not get the excitement for them. Therefore, they feel they must resort to other things that might be a bit sketchy or maybe a lot sketchy. I think that is the reason why people do those things. For the thrill of it. It is just as a really as simple as that.

Because we don't give our whole effort to do some thing good. But we do when we are doing wrong cause we know if we caught to doing wrong then people will say bad about us.
So if people give all effort to do something good then surly they can do it.
