Here's a bit of quirky trivia. The sixth Star Trek film was called Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country in which the undiscovered country was a reference to peace, specifically between the Klingons and humans. But in Hamlet, you know, the one by Shakespeare, there is a line that Hamlet speaks in Act III, Scene I where he says:
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns
The undiscovered country being death, a rather far cry from peace.

In olden times, around Shakespeare's era, many thought that the ultimate peace was death. This was not in a morbid sense, but in respect to our ultimate destiny.
