The cost of curse

There have been situations when some of us would curse, if we could, people who do us wrong. We generally don't, mostly because we don't know how the how process work; call this an elementary lack of education. That's in fact a good thing, because that's precisely when we ought to remember the good old law of karma, that antidote to curse, something that goes like “what goes around comes around...”

From a theological standpoint, I would imagine that in order to be able to cast a nefarious spell on anyone, it's necessary to make a deal with the devil. Thanks God, unlike the multitude of religions and deities that plague our little planet, there seems to be only one devil. It's a universal busy evil-doer that puts on a catholic or Muslim hat anytime he (she?) is asked to intervene.

My second assumption is that in order to hurt someone real bad through satanic intervention, it becomes necessary to “trade” something that is dear to the spell-caster, like health, a specific bodily function and even life. That contribution should come from the individual's or someone very dear and close. As you see this is a rather complicated program, full of pitfalls and problems that, long ago, has totally discouraged me to get into cursing anyone!
