[Shower question] Why do we have to fight the urge to do bad things?

[Plenum]

The question: Why do we have to fight the urge to do and/or think bad things? It seems that everything that we have to fight against internally has to do with something bad in some general way or perhaps specifically. Just some examples: A lot of us tend to have to fight the urge to yell or hit somebody who annoys us. A lot of us tend to have to fight the urge to laugh at someone we feel contempt for. A lot of us tend to have to fight the urge to put bad things in our body. A lot of us men tend to have to fight the urge to sleep with some random person. A lot of women tend to have to fight the urge (this might be bordering on a stereotype) to fall in love with a random guy (or gal?) that is no good for them. So as we can see, we seem to have to fight the urge to do a lot of things that are bad. I'm pretty sure that you can all come up with some other ones. It's not hard to find one once you really think about it.

I would probably broaden the question a bit more, and put it in a bigger framework.  

My feeling is that we all have a philosophical framework in our mind, and then reality and our experience present questions to that framework.  Most notably this can be seen in the Catalyst cards in the major arcana.

These 'questions' basically test the limits of our understanding, and then ask us how we want to respond.  So called 'bad things' would seemingly be at odds with our framework, and yet we don't quite know why.  And so the thoughts and the process of thinking gets triggered.  We can choose to act it out, to get more 'real' feedback, or we can try to process it internally, without going through with the action, which could have more lasting consequences for ourselves and others.  Either way, the 'questions' have to be addressed; if it's suppressed, it arises in other situations and scenarios.
