A tell tale heart crazy psycho man

Wow, this is some...interesting story. it's very twisted and demented. I mean, killing someone because of their eye? The belief in the evil eye dates back to ancient times, and even today, is fairly common in India and the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. References are made to it in Jewish, Islamic, Buddist and Hindu faiths. The belief centers around the idea that those who possess the evil eye have the power to harm people or their possessions by merely looking at them. Wherever this belief exists, it is common to assign the evil eye as the cause of unexplainable illnesses and misfortunes of any kind.

To protect oneself from the power of the eye, certain measures can be taken. In Muslim areas, the color blue is painted on the shutters of the houses, and found on beads worn by both children and animals. There is also a specific hand gesture named the "Hand of Fatima," named after the daughter of Mohammed. This name is also given to an amulet in the shape of hand that is worn around the neck for protection. In some locations, certain phrases, such as " as God will" or "God bless it" are uttered to protect the individual from harm. In extreme cases, the eye, whether voluntarily or not, must be destroyed. One Slavic folktale relates the story of the father who blinded himself for fear of harming his own children with his evil eye (http://www.poedecoder.com/essays/ttheart/).

        Whether or not you believe in the evil eye or not, this is an irrational act. Killing a man because of his eye? I have concluded that he indeed has many, many issues. Maybe a past experience or a trigger of some sort caused him to act like this, but it doesn't give him a reason to kill.
