RE: Casting Away The Evil Eye | South Indian Style
Oh wow. The whole thing stems from the fear of an executioner?! I almost feel sad for the man 'aussi craint et respecté que haï'. Imagine not being served food simply because of a job that you've been commissioned to do!
But I guess this is how superstitions like the evil eye are created.
I guess hired assassins were not well considered. Horrid karma.
What I find contradictory is that putting people to death was some sort of sordid entertainment.
Not only was it entertainment, I think it was also a way to scare people. That's why it happened in such a public place, no? It was to rule by instilling fear - a strategy that hasn't changed much til date.
Yes, unfortunately you are right.
