Why do people know what are good things or bad ? but still do bad things?

People know anger, jealous, hate, violence, lying, greed, and so on are considered as bad things and should be avoided. But if you observe the daily life of people. They are still doing those things. Are there any reasons beyond sin? How does individual control it or at least reduce it?

Answer:
I think people still do bad things but don't relize they do it. They must not know that jealousy is a sin, or a certain kind of anger is wrong. They just do it without noticing it. It is vertually impossible for someone to control their thoughts of jealousy or anger. It is impossible to control another woman or man's feelings if they can't control it themselves.
Perhaps it is simply human nature.
it's human nature... but i think people today r so selfish and hipocrate that they do bad things than they justifay themself with exuses and this is really bad to see .
i think if u r too goo people thinks u r dumb but better to be dumb than nasty and . i don't think bad things r the same bad things for everyone . i think the best way is don't do to other what you'd not like other could do to u and bad things for me r all those things u can do without respect others
For example:

If someone is clearly lying - given obvious proof - and the person they are being dishonest towards doesn't say anything that person is getting away with it. Therefore, "they'll learn" never happens. Lying is wrong and the fact that it is wrong should not be kept a secret.

~~~~Basic Morals
because most of the time, doing bad things are pleasurable...

haven't you ever experienced the high from cutting classes or from breaking you curfew?
to err is human..but it feels divine.
it just happens...sometimes it is so much easier to be bad...than good...and they just take the easy way out
Cuz when u know that there is some thing bad and u shouldn't do it ur instinct start telling u 2 do it and some people do it cuz they can't survive with out it
