Meanings of "Video meliora proboque, ..."

Inglese

I see a better way and approve it, but I follow the worst way. This is from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It means, even though I know better, I keep doing the wrong thing. Someone who speeds in an auto and gets tickets rather than just slow down while driving would be guilty of this. Colloquially it would be a 'slow learner'.

“Video meliora ...” nei testi

Publius Vergilius Maro - Metamorphoses. Liber VII

Iamque fretum Minyae Pagasaea puppe secabant,
perpetuaque trahens inopem sub nocte senectam
Phineus visus erat, iuvenesque Aquilone creati
virgineas volucres miseri senis ore fugarant,
