One could still meditate and try to pacify ones mind for relaxation and feelings of well being, but other than that, nothing.

hi RLP

imo, the statement above requires some very serious examination & introspection, thus i post again

whatever people do in life, why do they do it?

for example, why do we eat? to be free from hunger pains?

why do we listen to music? to feel pleasure & relaxation?

why do people have sex? to be free or find relaxation from the pressures of sexual agitation & craving?

why do we work? to earn money to be free from the oppression of hunger & exposure to the climatic elements?

is not EVERYTHING done in life to be free from suffering; to find relaxation from suffering?

is there ANYTHING done in life that is not for the resolution of some state of suffering?

is not Nibbana, the final peace, the resolution & fulfilment of every human aspiration?
