One way I see people sabotage themselves is with their drive to control others. They want to control their family members, their friends, society, and criminals/politicians.
You need to control yourself. You don't need to control anyone else.
It's hard. It's frustrating! I struggle with this myself.
Reality is that other people are going to do things you think they shouldn't do. They might even be wrong- but so might you. Even if they are wrong, your responsibility ends at defending yourself (and other innocents) if necessary. You have no responsibility to control those you see doing the wrong thing; either unethical acts or just individually stupid behavior.
By constantly being frustrated because someone isn't letting you control them, you're messing up your own life. I can't control you and make you stop, but I can point out how you're damaging yourself and your peace.
What happens next is up to you.
