Torture: Synonym of Sadism, Justice and Revenge

Torture is adored by most people on some level. That is to say, everyone has a secret sadism to them. Justice is often (if not always, I might cynically interject) a synonym for sadism. Most people probably wouldn’t intentionally go out of their way to maim another person, at least not typically. The majority of people think in Karmic aphorisms of persons inevitably ‘getting what they deserve’ on some level for some transgression, personal or impersonal. People of faith may be nonchalant, but you’ll go to hell. You get cut off in traffic: you hope they get pulled over; in an accident not involving you… It’s largely premeditated ‘what-if’ scenarios in one’s head. 

Torture is a Fetish, not necessarily explicit in its underlying sexuality but just as idealistically arousing regardless of scenarios. However… it’s not torture if it’s enjoyed, it’s kink.
