The literal text of the film is: “I looked inside and it was beyond what I ever imagined ... He would bring destruction and pain and death and the end of everything I love because of what he will become”
Luke saw Ben and Snoke becoming the next Vader and Palpatine, and wanted to stop it

Jedi don't have this weird bloodlust you ascribe to them, no matter how far to the dark side their opponents are.
You say Luke shouldn’t have even a moment of weakness. Luke agrees with you!!! He punishes himself by isolating from society and the Force itself!
You, me, Luke, Rian all agree it was bad! Only the rest of us say we still do bad things sometimes
THE WHOLE POINT is that night Luke saw Vader *AND* a sleeping teenager, and had two opposite reactions as a result. The now versus the future. And the dilemma is both were right!
