If there is no peace, there is nothing

If there is no peace, there is nothing

In the absence of peace, it is impossible to enjoy anything. Peace is equal to everything. If there is no peace, there is no enjoyment from the other things in the world.

("In your land you dwell securely, but you do not dwell securely outside the land. You might say: 'Here is food, here is drink'—if there is no peace, there is nothing; thus it is said, 'And I will grant peace in the land,' teaching that peace is equal to everything." — Yalkut Shimoni, Torah, Parashat Bechukotai, Remez 1122)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהֶעְדֵּר שָׁלוֹם לֹא נִתָּן לֵהָנוֹת מִשּׁוּם דָּבָר. הַשָּׁלוֹם שָׁקוּל כְּנֶגֶד הַכֹּל. אִם אֵין שָׁלוֹם אֵין הֲנָאָה מִשְּׁאָר הַדְּבָרִים שֶׁבָּעוֹלָם.

("בְּאַרְצְכֶם אַתֶּם יוֹשְׁבִים לָבֶטַח, וְאִי אַתֶּם יוֹשְׁבִים לָבֶטַח בְּחוּצָה לְאֶרֶץ. שֶׁמָּא תֹּאמְרוּ:'הֲרֵי מַאֲכָל הֲרֵי מִשְׁתֶּה'- אִם אֵין שָׁלוֹם אֵין כְּלוּם, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר וְנָתַתִּי שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁהַשָּׁלוֹם שָׁקוּל כְּנֶגֶד הַכֹּל"- יַלְקוּט שִׁמְעוֹנִי תּוֹרָה פָּרָשַׁת בְּחֻקּוֹתַי רֶמֶז תרעב)
