The phrase “rest in peace” reflects a belief that true peace cannot be found in this world. This idea is deeply tied to Abrahamic traditions, which often describe the earth as a place of struggle and unrest, while presenting heaven as the final dwelling of peace after death.

Yet there is an irony in this promise. If one reaches heaven but their loved ones do not, how can peace truly be complete? And if one fails to reach heaven and is condemned to hell, peace is absent altogether. In either case, the notion of peace after death becomes uncertain.

What is overlooked is the present moment. While people are taught to long for peace beyond the grave, they neglect the peace that can be cultivated here and now. Beliefs, once deeply planted, shape how we live, but they can also confine us. The real work is not waiting for peace in death, but creating it in life.

While living, there is a lot of competition and we make mistakes.
When we make mistakes, we feel regret and remorseful.
When the heart is troubled with regrets, remorse, wants and demands.... There can never be anyone in Peace.


Then, at the tail moment of departure, you understand the competition was not the right path but at least you are going to somewhere unknown where, there should be peace.

There’s no peace in the world man,true peace resides no where…
As long as there’s no equality in the world,peace will never be here
