I think someone would choose to do evil instead of good only if they had a very specific reason, such as revenge for a past crime. Or maybe they are just dumb and think it would be fun. I, personally, do not remember doing anything wrong while knowing the consequences of my actions. If I did, it would be lying, as that poses a problem to me to this day.
I think what causes someone to choose doing evil over doing good is temptation. Temptation to do something and see what happens. And Satan is the one who causes temptation. Therefore, by default, Satan causes people to do evil.
Not quite sure what you're saying here. Revenge for a past crime is not a good reason to do evil instead of good. There is never a good time to be evil and we should always try to do what Jesus would do. Sometimes this is very difficult in the simplist of terms, as the only thing you want to do is "get even." Getting even is not the answer. Finding a solution so it doesn't happen again? That's the answer.
