@maxdancona,
I can only answer philosophically, Max.
And that means switching off my emotions.
People don't like that on this site.
Firstly - Your interpretation of 'peace' is different to mine and everyone elses'.
Some find solace in chaos - Some find solace in drugs, alcohol, sex, perversion, pain, promiscuity, etc.
"PEACE" is a label.
So - How does one aspire to something when it it undefinable?
Is it peaceful for a grazing antelope when the lions slumber?
Is it peaceful for the lions when the antelope is slow and the meal is granted quickly?
