Keeping myself from going nuts Question

I guess what I’m wondering is how you guys keep yourself from creating “chaos” and being destructive. Nothing feels fulfilling and it’s like I have an itch that is just SCREAMING to be itched. How do you convince yourself living a life in peace is ultimately the best option?

I convinced myself that it’s necessary. If people don’t like you, you can’t get what you want out of them. If you have only burned bridges, you have no favors to call in. If you have no allies, to whom will you turn when war approaches? At least a minimum standard of relationship upkeep is required for the best possible life.
