You have two people. One with the urge to commit a "wrong", yet refrains from such an action. The other has no such urge and therefore commits no transgression.
Example - Two priests. One is attracted to young men. One is not. Neither ever engages in such activity. The priest who has no interests/desires has an easier road. The priest with the desires uses every bit of his willpower to refrain. Who's better in you eyes/ God's eyes/ the eyes of the common good?
If this example is distasteful to you, fill in the blanks. It shouldn't make much difference what situation you use.
