Why ? Why do we do it ?

Why do we give in ?
Is it because we lack faith in God/Allah/<insert deity here> ?
Why are we tempted ? Is it because it makes us feel good ? Is that ALL ?

Give in to what ?
Tempted to do what ?
And what have deities have to do with it ?

LOL, But why do we give in to our impulses would be a better question ?

 

temptation.

 

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us our pizzas.

 

If you do something dark or evil it's probably because you either don't realize it's dark or evil or because you think you can get away with it.

 

So is it the adrenaline ?, the joy of being secretive ?

 

About getting what you want probably, selfishness..
I don't believe anyone is evil for the sole purpose of being evil.

 

becasue we can.

 

that is a meaningless answer but true. It seems like it, but there should be a deeper motivation for it though .

 

I don't think there has to be a deeper motivation.
You see what you want or want to do and get/do it, regardless of the consequences for others.
Now either this is done in ignorance of those consequences or because you think you can get away with them.

 

Depends on what you consider "evil" because in many instances one mans

evil is another mans good!

 

So the only way to stop yourself from doing things(evil) is to get caught ?
If thats the case why do we have repeat offenders ? Or is that a case of ignorance again ?

 

Or good morals, which are based on social control though.

 

Not to mention Peer Pressure.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I haven't done anything wrong, unless you think watching the matrix revolutions is wrong. "Why? Mr Anderson, Why do you persist ?"
