Peace!. It refers to dropping of the ego, a fictitious entity that is rushing to carve an identity for the self out of ephemeral stuff, the identity getting process that is thoroughly not needed as we are already endowed with a marvellous and unique identity by the Nature!.

If you drop the "I" and the "want", then all the humans are dead, so there is no more need of peace, which is an essentially human construct!.

Easier said than done!

Dropping 'want' is possible/feasible but dropping 'I' is unachievable!. If we do that, we'll be free from this cycle of birth & death, become nothing!

We won't even need peace then!. Somehow it brings 'Graveyard' to my mind!. Though I know you mean we should drop our 'ego' and shouldn't run after fulfillling our 'needs' blindly!. But the way you put it is oversimplification of a complex issue!.
