We may harm ourselves or others around us for nothing but the feeling of control in our lives. I remember reading somewhere that eating disorders were an example of simultaneously losing and gaining control and, though I haven't had an eating disorder before, I could see how the same logic could apply to other actions.

It's all about some one doing something that makes me uncomfortable, so I have to control it, once you realise this it's very freeing.
