Gözünüz bozuksa, bütün bedeniniz karanlık olur. Buna göre, içinizdeki ‘ışık’ karanlıksa, ne korkunçtur o karanlık!

This verse is from Jesus in the Bible and it says that if your eye, meaning your view or attitude, is bad, then everything you do will be wrong too. It means having a negative mindset can make all of life dark.

Imagine your eyes are like the windows to your mind. If those windows get dirty or broken, even when it's sunny outside, inside it feels dark and gloomy. Jesus is saying that if you have a bad attitude, everything else in your life will feel sad too!

What does 'evil eye' mean in this context?

'Evil eye' metaphorically refers to a bad attitude or a negative mindset that can affect everything you do and see. It's not about the physical eye but your perspective.

How can we ensure our attitudes are positive?

To keep positive attitudes, regularly check your thoughts for negativity, surround yourself with uplifting influences, pray, read the Bible, and focus on gratitude.
