You know, every time I see a stack of money being moved around in a bank, I imagine myself grabbing it and taking off. Now, if I acted on that urge, would I be punished? Yes. Does that indict me for thinking about it? Absolutely not.
A lot of people see a young, attractive woman walk down the street and look at her. I do it. But if someone said “dude, she’s only 16” it would change my thought patterns completely. Much less 13. But even if she were 30... does it mean it’s OK to rape her? ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is not just about the girl’s age either....
Well said.
I was in my early twenties, when one day I was walking into a grocery store behind a fine looking woman. I worked my way to be in front of her to check out the other side, to my utter shock she couldn't have been a day under 80 years old, I know what you mean about those thought patterns changing.
