Peace-Dynamic?

Some like that RedIndian ideal ,that after death we would go into happy hunting grounds hunt ,eat ,drink and just enjoy. Well , the idea is appealing. and Chenghiz khan is said to say-what fun would it be if there were no wars in heaven?
Well, wars must have started from the day Adam and Eve ate that forbidden fruit .We read in the Bible that all was so peaceful at the beginning and that all the trouble started from their eating the forbidden fruit. Lions no more played with lambs then and Cain killed Abel after that. We got wisdom and became like God .
.But aren’t these good things to happen –like getting wisdom and getting to become like God?
Why should we kill and fight after gaining wisdom-god isn’t so then why?
What would perfect peace-Shanti be like?
Sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night, in a house so silent, everyone sleeping their faces like a small child’s, not like the ones with which you quarreled and had little squabbles with in the morning-its total peace-but it’s dark all around.
When you put the lights on you can hear them grumbling.
So it’s dark all-round .would total peace be so like all sleeping –eyes shut – all dark?
Does light or wisdom bring unrest or troubles? well I don’t think so? Satan who handed over the fruit to them had said that we would be “like”God ", not God Himself.
So it’s not wisdom that’s creating the trouble. It’s those parts of wisdom that lies undigested in our brains, like undigested food that’s creating all the troubles and unrest. It might need greater minds to assimilate God’s wisdom completely. So we couldn’t get His wisdom completely, just some bits of it –that too distorted. So it might not be dark when there is total peace all around. It might be true bright light and true activity all around; not-just inactivity. So peace might be wonderful after all –full of activity and dynamic. I mean true peace……..
