Is adultery less of a sin when it only takes place in one's mind? Is its intention more or less morally wrong than its footprint in reality?
And what then, if the fantasy were stronger than the factuality of other people's affairs? Would I be more or less dissolute, according to the intensity of the feelings rather than their actual impact?
For, my darling, if my fantasies could be weighed and quantified, I would already be a wanton woman, and more lost than you.
