    Things that happen inside your head = not illegal

    Things that happen outside of your head = can potentially be illegal.

        No, it does not. Many people struggle with intrusive thought, as an example.

        An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate.

        Bad thoughts ≠ bad person.

        Bro everyone has dark intrusive thoughts, these folks just have ones that they’re wildly ashamed of and that they’re scared of not knowing how to control most of the time.

        There are some who cross the threshold into action, but in all likelihood those are a comparable ratio to people who actually turn into serial killers compared to people who have intrusive thoughts about wanting to throttle someone out of frustration with them.
