Priyas in Sanskrit or Pryatel in Ukrainian point toward Amicable Amigo or Friend. In essence, the core ideas have to do with "Ego"
or "I" and with "Will". If these do not
surrender some of their territory, friendship
has little room to blossom. An amicable (amistad)
relationship, as denoted by "am ego or amigo",
does imply in some sense, the fusion of two egos
("kindred souls"). An excess of "self love" or
"I will" as denoted by egotism, egoism or
Narcissism, stifles love and friendships.
(antagonism)
Regarding torture, an example is provided
by events during the "Reform" started by Luther.
Religious antagonisms caused many agonies
including by the use of torture applied on a
PRN ("Pro Re Nata") or "as need arises"
basis. One popular method of torture was the
"rack".
(opponents)
After several centuries, torture became illegal
because it represents a denial of human rights.
In fact, illegal governmental torture has
persisted. In Israel, President Ariel Sharon is striving to
legalize the torture of suspects of terrorism. One excuse cited is "it will
save time".
Those who suffered from a "crick in the neck" understand torture because torticollis
(contorted neck or tort collis = neck) is quite painful.
Anglophones suffer because of an over abundance of lawyers and
an excessive automobile dependency. Consequently, Anglophones are
quite aware of "tort law" and car
engine "torque" power. Those who speak Romance and
Slavic "tongues" relate "tort" with the delight
of eating torte ("cake" is a prefered term). Both panoramas are linked with
ancient Greece and a popular "bread twist" or roll
then called "tortidion" or "artidion".
