Is it bad to think wicked thoughts? Does it make us evil? Am I bad for the thoughts and fantasies I have?
If I remember correctly, Psychiatrist Carl Jung was among the first to dive into a theory about wicked thoughts. He believed we have a "shadow self". This shadow self is feral, raw, our unconscious, our darkest desires. Most of us conceal this part of us being embarrassed to admit to such morbid curiosity because it might be wrong in society's eyes. Others are not aware of of this part of themselves.
Then comes the topic of sex...are we not hardwired to think about sex? And keep in mind that I know that not every sexual thought should be taken at face value. Just because I fantasize about something does not mean I will act on it.
I speak of all this and it has me wondering...so i found this article:

I agree with it completely.
