What is Torture???

Torture is defined as "any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity."

In countries where citizens can expect to be spared routine exposure to real torture, the word "torture" is used loosely (and to some people, inappropriately) for ordinary, even accidental discomforts. For example, "I was stuck in a traffic jam for three hours today, it was torture!” or “Loving him/her is torture!”

So, how do YOU define torture?

there is 'torture with mutual consent' which falls into the category of bdsm (bondage, discipline, sex and masochism).

on you on the first place ... waiting for the food to be served can be someone's torture, to the others going to office or work every morning ... to me losing someone that you really love or finding her around no more ..

when you cant be what you want to be! because you are afraid society might sneer, condemn you; or because you swayed from the standard of the milieu.
