self restraint

not doing something you want to do really badly. usually the thing you want to do is a bad thing

You know when you just want to catch everything in sight on fire? Or fist fight people with no warning hoping multiple people try to stop you so you can fight them too? Or steal some rich old white guy's third car so you can test it out in a police chase in the middle of the night? Or maybe paint yourself in the blood of a non-descript animal and just walk around in public with a huge smile being way too friendly and close to others for somebody obviously covered in any blood whatsoever? But you think about it and don't even though you have no respect for society's comfort? Yeah. That's the ticket.
