    Well, we all have unresolved issues left over from childhood....that
    could explain why we have not treated one another with respect. When we
    move into that frustrated part of ourselves, that place where we have
    pushed our hurts from the past, we do not react "normally." Could this
    also explain why the workplace so often becomes a war zone?

    I think that it is a worthy aspect to work on for change.

    I think this is a plausible explanation.
