I think it has to do with control.
People who hold on to childlike minds like the perception of control: the more money they have, the more control they have in their lives (whether they are aware of it or not).
Take a rich person's money or restrict them from it, and they chimp out like an "embarrassed genocidal dictator".

- Self-harm is an illogical way of regaining some sense of control.
- Sadists/Psychopaths only react to the perceived effect they have on others because it gives them a sense of control.
At the end of the day, if you are constantly trying to control everything and then end up believing a world that conserves energy revolves around you, you'll take statistical anomalies as "signs" that you are still in control when in reality you are acting like a stupid monkey in an uncaring universe.
I have a further hypothesis that when trying to expend energy in neuron cells, the body has resulted in an emotional response. Triggered by something? You're being exposed to information that clashes with your existing schemas of information stored in your neurons and are trying to create new pathways: emotion is a feedback loop of sorts that if you are not aware of can influence your behaviour both in positive or negative ways.
