    If you’re going to chain someone to the same spot for their entire life your intentions don’t mean anything. Your act of doing it is what makes it torture.

      torture is a specific thing. there may be a medical reason to do it. if I cut off your foot, that might be a form of torture, but if I do it because it’s dangerous or mangled, it’s a mercy. the intent matters. incidental pain is not torture.
