Shia question: Justification for self-mutilation?

During Matam. Cutting with Zanjeer. What is your alliby, as WHAT is your reason as to cut your skin for Ali (r.a.), what is your reason to mutilate yourself? Please quote refrences from your holy scriptures as you have a seperate Hadith YOURSELF, and I am interested as to LEARN how the events of Karbala impact your lifestyle, and keep in mind, Im here to LEARN from you, not to insult. I love my Muslim Ummah. Salaam Waalaikom.

Update:

look it up on either http://images.google.com/ yaaa Http://youtube.com
