To covet and to lust are just two examples of sin occurring without "harm" being done to another. And even though the one who entertains such thoughts may seek to justify themselves with the fact that they only fantasized about the crime, they must still account for their thoughts with the One who knows all of our thoughts.

A habit of prayer would be most helpful on all occasions. IMHO.

Thanks for the explanations, thats all I was looking for.
