If you die, there is no peace to find … there is nothing.
I used to think that, and then I smoked some space dust and now I'm not sure anymore.
Is space dust what the kids are calling PCP these days?
DMT, PCP isn't really my thing
Never tried it, just know it was called Angel Dust at one point
And that's perhaps the most peaceful peace. A peace only nothingness can bring.
Nothing is a peace.
Asking as an atheist myself: what is "nothing"?
Imagine a mind, a person, a body… then imagine it is not there anymore.
Remember the 13 billion years before you were born? More of that.
Beige. Forever.
What do you remember about before you were born?
Lots, see another reply I've made
That's a pedantic way to answer a question that you understand the purpose of, but are choosing to answer it hyper literally. So, I'll respond hyper literally. You don't remember anything about before you were born because you weren't there to experience it. You're recalling scientific theories and stories passed down through the years about historic events that took place before your birth.
The question again since you want to be hyper literal is "what do you remember about 'your life' before you were born?". It's a thought experimemt to make you think about the totality and finite of nothingness.
"Nothing" is peace for some people.
