Some believed that everyone to some extent has an envious look and that he uses it to the outbreak of the senses so that one view-even quite ordinary man, if he painted envy or some such emotion, can have further detrimental impact.

Others insist that it is passed from generation to generation and it is impossible to intervene in the process just as it is impossible to prevent a disease that is inherited. Some believe that the devil rewards the bad eye as a gift favorite your favorites, which could concentrate all its evil in the eyes and focus it at will.
