When you torture someone you want them to be afraid. That gives you, the person doing the torturing, the power or at least makes you feel powerful.

If you were being tortured, repeatedly, how would you handle it? What would you do? Would you eventually get angry and tired of being tortured and try to do something about it? Would you shut off from the world and learn to ‘deal’ with it?

What about terror? What makes you terrified/ full of terror? Would it be torture if you were terrified often? all the time? wouldn’t being terrified all the time be a kind of torture?

So that would mean the person doing the torturing is a terrorist.

Strange how changing the words, changes the meaning, isn’t it? Will it change how you ‘deal’ with it?
