Well, in my case, I can tell you that I have weighed things out and still made the wrong decision more than once. Why? Because my intellectual will was not in synch with my desires.
Could you give an example?

Do you have any bad habits?
Well, I bite my nails which may be considered a bad habit. However, I don’t see any great reason to stop biting my nails and it would probably take some effort to kick the habit. I therefore don’t think it was the wrong decision to continue biting them.

But, if they have the desire, but wish they did not have the desire, then they are in a state of internal conflict. This happens.

How about having the desire to rape women? If you were burdened with that, would you not want to get rid of it? Repressing it might just make it stronger, but if you had the ability to just make it go away, would you not want to?
Of course. But there is, as far as I know, no way of making it go away completely. Of the options available, I think it's better to simply accept it.
