Well in Star Wars terms that is the failing of the Dark Side. Who doesn't get a bit of a thrill watching stuff blow up? I mean the whole Mythbusters show is almost based on that. The problem is that the things that give folks like the Sith and the Master a 'high' are very ephemeral and never last. When Yoda talks about being calm and the like, he might have been saying that fulfillment can come in the fullness of time.

The old saying is that it takes years to build but moments to destroy is very true. In this context, however, the builders (especially those who have been 'trained' not to just look at the end product) get fulfillment out of the journey and then the happiness that comes with a job well done. Yet for the destroyers, one has to keep destroying. If one gets a thrill from proving one is better, one constantly has to find a foe to challenge while looking over their backs to see if someone is going to try to supplant them.

So while the 'builder' way may seem boring, the Dark Side is one long death spiral of paranoia and looking for the next 'high'
