I just don't know how a person can make a choice for doing the opposite.
Given the sinful nature with which we are born, we are prone to sin and the more we sin, the more it has a hold on our abilities to think clearly and adjudicate. For those who are raised in a Christian way of life, this process can be mitigated to one degree or another, but all of us fall to sin at some point and in some way and cannot but follow sins lead until we are filled with the Spirit's power. Only then are we set free from the dominion of sin. We choose what we do, because sin is a liar and deceives us as to what is valuable. We are blinded by sin until the Holy Spirit illuminates our eyes. God's grace goes before us and grants us the capacity to see that which we naturally cannot see. Until this happens, we cannot do the opposite!
