[Avodah] yom kippur thought

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

<<*Having* a thought can't be an aveira, because it's involuntary, but
*consciously entertaining* it can be one, and often is.  That would certainly require teshuvah. >>

The famous Ibn Ezra on "lo tachmod" seems to disagree. He gives the example that no one would dream of marrying a princess (at least in pre-Disney days -) ). So one can train oneself not to have evil thoughts

Yes-but in current western society I have yet to meet someone that this mashal resonates with.
