Picture force that has gone past the point where anyone can hold it back. Hands that will not stop shaking. A boat that will not stop rocking. The same too-much force can be aimed by a person at someone else, and it can also happen entirely inside a feeling, so that the voice and the position carry it instead of the body. Every use of violently sits somewhere on that scale of force beyond control.
