Why do we say "be being + adjective/pp"?

(1) be + being + pp. 基本上是被動式的進行式。
例如:Someone is stealing Tom!
--> Tom is being stolen!

(2) be + being + adjective 可用來描述某人在某一刻的表現。
例如: You are being rude. (你在此刻的表現極為傲慢無禮。)
I don't think my parents are being fair. My brother can stay overright with friends, but I am not allowed to. (在外過夜這點上,我不認為我的父母是公平的。)
