The word “torture” is subjective in essense.  I define it as the act of inflicting pain, agony, or discomfort continuously for an extended period of time. Secret torture thus means committing such act without evidences or witnesses.  We usually think of it with location-based bias.  We imagine targets being brought to an isolated location with access given only to torturers, thus making it a secret.

We forget the role that advanced technology has played in “improvement” on the methods of torture.  Simply put, if one can inflict pain on to a subject without the subjects or others detecting where and how the pain is originated, such torture can be carried out anywhere in plain sites while remained secretive.

The subject can definitely detect the presence of pain and discomfort without knowing how the pain is inflicted and can be stopped.  He can also distinguish the nature of the pain and discomfort after repeated, and prolonged torture, thus ruling out ailments as the cause and confirming that it is artificaially inflicted.  Again, the subject has no evidence or witnesses other than the torturers, themselves securely out of sights.

This sounds like a chapter in some sci-fi fantasy.  No subject will ever speak for fear of being regarded as mentally deranged or targeted for further retributions.  Pain is subjective but inflicting pain is an act, whether it be known publicly or not.

I do not have a point by writing this here.  I do not know how the abovementioned comes about, but I have wanted to write about this for over a year and half but remained in silence.  Perhaps it is because I do not have a point here but eager for someone to hear about this for reasons unbeknownst to me.

Perhaps someone wiser can tell me the relevance of all these in the current society.  I cannot stop thinking about it.  When I forgot about all these, there was always something that propelled me to be reminded this surreal concept.  I have learnt to ignore it as it comes.

I wish I had more delicate command in use of language.  Any language.  I wish to be let known what I am trying to convey without the risk of suffering possible dire consequences.
