I know how reddit hates most christain-based philosophies, but i heard an old fundamentalist pastor give an analogy kind of echoed this saying.

In other words; bad/immoral thoughts come to almost everyone. Whether they are brought by anger, lust, or some other emotion. However, we dont have to allow that/those thoughts to hang around. Just like on a television, you can change the channel to another, better option.
And we certainly don’t have to act out whatever thoughts we have.
