I'd would like to read everyone's feelings and / or opinions on why we sometimes lack willpower. I know there are many different dynamics to this topic, but I am wondering what happens to us when we KNOW that we should not do something, yet we do anyway.

Our minds are so powerful and if they are powerful enough to tell us right from wrong, good from bad, should vs don't, then why aren't our minds powerful enough to resist temptation? (Some of the time of course. I realize that is a rather sweeping statement).

Can we brainstorm on this?
