Does THINKING about bad things make you a bad person?

A topic of debate with my friend group is “does thinking about doing bad/violent/evil/harmful things make you a terrible person?”

In my opinion, no. We all have thoughts that we wish we didnt have, maybe its chewing someone out or wanting to punch someone in the face. However, if we dont do it, we are actively recognising that they are bad/wrong things to do and we will NOT doing them. We are controlling our urge to harm someone/do something terrible and that itself makes us ok.

Some of my friends take the exact opposite view, evil thoughts are evidence if an evil person/evil personality. Because is why would you even think something so terrible if you were a “good person”

(I am aware that “good” is subjective, but lets stick to things like cheating, murder, violence, etc. Things that harm other people)
