Why are we drawn to things we know are untrue, wrong...'bad'....?
Why will we do things that we know are wrong, or will cause something 'bad'...?
Like that test...putting two people in seperate rooms, and giving one of them a button and telling them "Press this button and it will shock the person in the other room"....What does that person do? Press the button. Do we do it because of curiosity? Or fear or punishment? Or raised beliefs that respect for authority has no limits.
But really.... on the other note.....Why are we drawn to things we know to be untrue?

I don't think we're drawn to the 'untrue".
I think human beings are naturally lazy.
If someone can have an answer without having to do the research, then why should they memorize anything? I see this more and more in my daily life everywhere I turn. Nothing but lazy ignorant people who are just as content to let someone else think for them.
The entire political system actually COUNTS upon this phenomenon so that they can get elected into office.

I heard this one quote from I can not recall, but it said that "satan would not BE without his cunningness".
"Have you seen those whom have taken thier desires as GOD"-quran
I have come to the conclusion that there is ONE universal truth of the matter to existance. And that being the only thing capable of creating it. But creations more than have the capability of frustrating and manipulating to the destruction of others well beings. Let alone the world on a thought that is of your own. GRANTED. My reasons to questions like such that you asked are highly blasphemous. Though they are blasphemous, they are true. So I martyre myself inshallah(GOD willing, if GOD wills, if it must be, if I must, if that is what I choose, etc). And I beg allah not to place me amongst the disbleiever, but to create a throne that I can call my own that I may one day sit upon with no crown. Only piety. Where my own thought will be the TRUE KING. I am sovereign reflected off of malik(sovereign lord). Thought could be the greatest toll that is of mankind. If one does not use it, how can they come to realise. Salam!

It is part of human nature to be curious and to fall to temptation. We are curious about the things we're told are bad and the people involved in those things seem to peek our interest, too. I think it's just wanting to understand why it's so bad or why those people seem to participate and not care about the consequences. We ask ourselves what makes them that way. When we're younger, I think those things we learn are bad become tempting, just to see what will happen if we do it...or if we can do it and not get caught. I think it all boils down to curiosity and temptation....the same thing Eve dealt with.

Sounds to me like you'll have a social stress. the a number of indicators of unhappy (social stress sickness) comprise stress (emotional soreness, concern, apprehension, or hardship) about social circumstances, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by technique of different human beings. those with unhappy can many times have melancholy. you may communicate on your mothers and fathers and search for psychological help. they could evaluate you and provide you with a diagnoses and then you will be able to have the alternative of taking medicine or merely search for remedy sessions. desire each and everything seems properly for you.

Because we have an inherent will to usurp authority; therefore, no matter what command we are given we will stumble to obey.
Adam and Eve could not even keep one command why should we be any different.

Much of who we think we are is 'bad'. But the 'bad' I'm referring to is better described as 'delusional'. Are reality is set wrong.
This, at the most fundamental level, is why we do 'bad' things (often without even knowing they're 'bad').

It would be difficult to know good, if
there was no evil. How would we know love,
if there was no hate?
Life is a challenge. The good choices
we make, enrich our person ale.
