I don't believe this is necessarily true. I've done things that I knew at the time were illogical; I paused, considered my actions, and then chose to give in to my anger and did something stupid. I knew at the time that what I was doing was stupid, and that I'd later regret it, but I did it anyway. If something like this can happen with illogical actions, why not with immoral actions? Why is it impossible for someone to say 'I know that what I'm about to do is immoral, and that I'm a bad person for doing it, but I'd rather feel the guilt/shame/whatever of being a bad person than feel the pain of losing someone I care about,' while acknowledging that they are acting out of selfishness?
