Why are there no nihilists on Lost?

Just wondering why none of the characters, even the minor ones (like the briefly seen and quickly discarded Nicki and Paolo (who?)), are nihilists. Why hasn’t anyone just completely lost it (no pun intended) and gone ape-shit nuts and started destroying everything and then commit suicide? Or something like that? Yes, I know that wouldn’t be very Disney-like, but so what? Isn’t odd that all of the survivors seem, for the most part, to have adjusted to living on the island? I’ll discount Locke who obviously never wants to leave. Maybe we’ll see tonight; though I doubt that very much.
