Destruction is sometimes needed for construction. But if you destroy out of hate, destruction is your ultimate goal, and not a means to an end. If you destroy out of love, then creation becomes your ultimate goal.

Indifference and craving are the two things we must avoid. They are two extremes, and balanced between the two is love, which neither craves nor is indifferent. It accepts and yet not resigns, cherishes and yet does not desire.
Craving can be in the form of desire, or in the form of anger; the craving to add something, or the craving to remove something. Yet both in the end are forms of destructivity.
Many people who seek enlightenment focus on reducing craving, but do not love, and in so doing become indifferent; enlightenment, however, is unconditional love. In its perfect sense, it is love for all things in the universe, which is a state of divinity. In apathy one will find enlightenment no more than in desire. We should not merely seek to avoid pain, but also seek love.
And yet, at the same time, we should not crave even for enlightenment. It is very difficult.

It's not going to stop

Depression is caused largely by a hate for either oneself or for one's life -- these are one and the same because one's life is part of oneself; it is part of one's own qualia. It follows that only when one hates oneself, one will suffer, and hate is a craving to make someone suffer. Essentially, one gets what one wants. Similarly, any negative feelings at all are caused by anger at oneself or one's life, be it at a conscious or more subconscious level, and the opposite also counts: "Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them." — Leo Tolstoy

Every feeling you have, you either choose for at the moment or at some earlier time. You ordered it, so to say, like a package.
