I have gathered everything from post “Monkey climbing up the rope” about tension.
Tension is basically a force that the rope applies back when it is under stress. It is an inward force. Tension T's direction at end points of rope where its attached to the body and ceiling is inwards. Tension is what we pull something with not push.

This video explains nicely how force applied is transmitted from one end of rope to other under tension.
Tension is not a vector.
I want to be verified: Someone said in other post I don’t know which one “tension is pair of opposite forces acting on small rope elements all along the rope ,when under tension ,cancelling each other. At the ends there is just one force acting inwards on each end”. Am I right? A diagram would be helpful.
