A father had 3 sons and gave each of them candy. He told them to eat it only where no one could see them, and only when no one was watching them. At the end of the day, the three sons went to the father. The first one said: I hid in the closet and ate the candy. No one saw me. The second son said: I ate in the barn, no one was there to watch me. *I don’t remember where he ate, maybe it was attic? Under the bed?* The father turned to the third son. “Did you not find a spot where no one was watching you?” He asked his son, to which the son replied: Allah is always watching us, I cannot hide from him, there for I cannot eat the candy.

I was reminded of the story when I came across this:

A man came to Imam Husain (grandson of Prophet Mohammad s.a.) and said: 
I am a sinful man and can’t avoid doing sin, please advise me. 

Imam (as) said: 
If you can do these FIVE things, then commit sin as much you like. 

First: Don’t eat the sustenance of God and commit sin as much you like. 
Second: Go beyond the domain of God and commit sin as much you like. 
Third: Seek a site where God cannot observe you and commit sin as much you like. 
Fourth: If the Angel of death comes to you to take away your soul, expel him away from yourself and commit sin as much you like. 
Fifth: If the Angel of Hell was about to throw you into the hell-fire, stop him and commit sin as much you like. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 126)
