she and only she, the lady god will judge us for tolerance and understanding of others.

The lesson here is that the dead boy BELIEVED he was cursed, and apparently was consumed by this idea.

This impending doom became the central focus, so he in a sense made it happen all by himself.

@bigkendallas i.e. a self-fulfilling prophecy. This happens in the U.S. educational system as well in which the teacher who believes he/she is teaching "gifted" students teaches well whereas the teacher who believes he/she is teaching "slow" students does a sloppy job of pedagogy, each reinforcing their initial assumptions.
