  1. The evil eye is what we call criticism or fault finding. A critical outlook on oneself and others shrinks one’s creative abilities and diminishes his life-powers. And, as modern psychological research has shown, it is the cause of numerous psychological and physical ailments, weakens the immune system and makes both the criticized and critic vulnerable to disease. The opposite – encouragement and compliments empower others as well as ourselves, add positivity to all our surroundings and life to the world.
