Sinful Imaginations Are Harder Than the Sin

Sinful Imaginations Are Harder Than the Sin

Thoughts about committing serious sins are sometimes even more severe than the actual sin itself. A person constantly occupied with thoughts about doing a sin suffers more than one who has sinned.

("The thoughts of the past are harder than the past, and your signs: a bad smell. The nets of the shack are harder than the shack, and your signs: a lamp that is afraid" - Yoma 29a, and so on: "Whom did you see then? The matron! Isn't that so? - And the thoughts of the past, the end of the old man, the end of the past!" - Y.L. Peretz / Haim Yona Wittels, n, and so on: "Jerusalem He is not yet a child to sin. He has not yet committed a sin, but the thoughts of a sin are harder than a sin" - Agnon / On the Locks of the Lock, Sifur Pashut, 60, and so: "It is still too easy for a fool to stop you in error in sin / Wandering, or in the thoughts of sin, an hour / When you are carried in a fearful posture to the bridge's bridge" - Nathan Yonatan / Identity document renewal)
