A forum on torture. "The healthy person doesn't torture others. Generally, it's the tortured who turn into torturers." C.G. Jung
How can you tell the truth if the mask you have adopted ends up being identical to your face? How does memory beguile and save and guide us? How can we keep our innocence once we have tasted evil? How to forgive those who have hurt us irreparably? How do we find a language that is political but not pamphletary?
