Is peace your actual gain? Have you even won

As it were, the governors of nature have created hot and cold, pleasure and pain, life and death. And by that, so have we been given the tools to amend, or see at least. In accordance with that, it would seem fair that our best use of those tools was the strongest approach to heeding such conditions. Most of us don't do that though. For one, we overlook what the condition is in the first place; like seriously, who even gives a moments regard for the reality of death and its certain arrival? Better yet, who even cares about the simplest yet most common and (if left unattended) protrusive effects and elements of our normal days? Even if we do address these, who applies themselves as to succeed in simply treating them? For most of us, it seems that we attend to our duties as to get them over with: so we can then achieve what we really like. But where is the peace in that? And at any rate, the fruits and pleasure that spring from such a tranquil source. We're all trying to get somewhere instead, or get something. But what have you accomplished when you've even done so? Will you find peace then? Look at all our senators and merchants, and really consider whether there's contentment filling out their mind, and whether their free time is spent in felicity and cheer. Or are they actually disturbed too often, and easily at that; then left with nothing but the desire of relief and ointment, and begrudgery at that
