Actually to mentally balanced individuals there is no benefit. those with low self esteem,seem to feel better about them selves when when pushing buttons to aggravate ect.ect. They feel better about themselves through upsetting others when it would be more beneficial to them and society to get the professional help they need to live productive lives. So many people waste time on pettiness finding fulfillment in hurting others is a flaw that needs to be fixed within them.

You're sitting there having your cup of coffee, gossiping to Flo and Mary about Susan and Tom. You notice Flo wince when she eats your corn muffin and you really cant stand how Mary keeps letting the coffee drip onto your floor you polished just before they came. The dinner they served last night was perfectly awful.
Then you get a phone call and find out your brother has been in a car accident and none of that seems important anymore.
We sweat the small stuff because most of us do not have bigger goals or concerns. The byproduct of our wonderful curiosity, inventiveness and cunning is our ability to hen and worry who wins on American Idol.

To get energy. You see, when you confrontate with other and you win, you feel full of power. But when you loose, you feel sorf of running out of energy.
That's the same way as being funny or popular. You are attracting people's attention. This attention give you power, energy, force, usw. You feel happy when people look to you, talk nicely about you, usw.
But there's a good way to collect energy other than steal it (by contronting and winning), try to be simpatic and a good listener. In this way both get energy and none has to lose oder be suppressed.

We are all blind. You are too. I am. I dont doubt that. we are programmed by America and other countries that are so strongly involoved in the media. We Dont stop to think. We just live life. We are all to blame.
Wake up people... Dont you see that we created our own problems!!!! If the entire world decided to change the laws and economic systems, why not do it!!!! We could eliminate poverty and many problems, if only we chose to!!!

Shortest answer is: because we're human.
To try and explain the short answer can drag on forever.
I write it off as animal instincts. Dominate or be dominated.

Greed, selfishness, lack of caring of others,and looking out for #1, is the main problem.

Because you have no control over your emotions and they know how to push your buttons and they enjoy that power you have given them.
