I don't understand too much of what you are saying, but regarding this self - inflicted injury, I do have some perception. I had a minor form of it - in the form of a disease. But then I realized, life throws us so much of pains by itself. And so much of suffering is there as it is, and I don't need to add to it myself. Without me causing me more suffering, life is going to put me through severe hell - my parents will die one day, I will get old, I will get sick, I will have problems with my husband, I might lose the job etc etc. So just managing all these and living a good life is going to be an extremely difficult thing. I don't need to add to it anything myself.
And I realized that construction is what takes effort and patience and ability. Destruction is just so very easy. You can destruct something you spent years in building up in a moment. And beauty lies in construction, not in destruction.
All these things stopped myself from doing any sort of destructive ness - both self and inflicting pain on others.
