WIY – Torah dictates what we could and should do. If I believe I can’t, but Torah dictates that I should, I would like to think I will. If I have anger issues and rip apart people reflexively when I believe they deserve it, that doesn’t make it halachically permissible, but I would still have to say “yes” to this question. Many times the Torah asks us to go outside of ourselves to either do, or not do, but that does not negate what our insides veer towards.
