Be peace vs be peaceful
Are there some differences between "be peace" and "be peaceful"?
If I send someone a message as "be peace" or "be peaceful", does it mean and feel differently?
Is "be peace" commonly used in English or it is wrong in grammar?
My feeling is that "be peace" has the feeling of may the peace comes and the quarrel vanishes. And "be peaceful" is may you have the status of mind at peace. Both can be used to calm down the people who are in quarrels. Is the understanding correct? Thanks
