From the Talmud

(Commentary to Tractate Bava Batra, 118a, from Artscroll):

"Human thoughts can trigger a variety of natual phenomena that can cascade and eventually lead to the destruction of physical bodies. Accordingly, when something successful engenders the amazement of people, its future is endangered.

The ethical basis for ayin hara (evil eye) is explained by some as follows: The blessings bestowed byHashema upon an indiviuual ahould not seve as a source of anguish to others. If one allows his blessings (ie wealth, children) to cause pain to others less fortunateone arouses a divine judgment against himself and a reevaluation of their fitness for those blessings. This can lead to their subjection to the destructive forces of ayin hara.
