Improper thoughts wield great power in a person’s mind. But he does not
realize just how severe they really are. After a person does an aveirah, he
does teshuvah. But an improper thought can fester in one’s mind and bring
him to sin terribly. This was what happened to the Generation of Wisdom.
They allowed themselves to dwell excessively on what they were eating.
This led to them being consumed by illicit thoughts.

“We remember the fish that we would eat in
Egypt free of charge; the cucumbers, and the
melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
But now our life is parched, there is nothing; we
have nothing to anticipate but the manna”

(Bamidbar 11:5-6)
