The Use of Force illustrates very well the feelings and emotions of a normallyrational person, who, for any reason, is subjected to a situation that causesmuch frustration and anger. Most people have patience, but everyone has abreaking-point.
The doctor found his breaking point. It was almost frighteningto read what the doctor was going to do next to the little girl. What he did wasno doubt justified, however, when he said “I could have torn the child apartin my own fury and enjoyed it,” that shows a lack of self control. I believethis story is very much like everyday life in the past few years. People losetheir tempers too easily instead of being patient and cooling off. A greatexample of this is the Jerry Springer Show; people go to that show already veryangry, and they think that being on TV will aid them in resolving theirconflicts.
That is certainly not what happens, though. One person almost alwaysbecomes enraged and physically attacks another person. It’s sick. I see it inthe hallways of our school. People lash out at anyone for any reason-bumpinginto them. It is terrible.
Just blow it off and calm down. The story The Use ofForce shows the evil side of a person. The doctor had to do his job, but did notneed to physically harm the little girl. His uncontrollable ferocity andbelligerence are startling, but it is sadly a common occurrence in the present.
