A hand-drawn comparison graphic contrasts “Happiness” with “Peace + Purpose.” On the left, the word “HAPPINESS” appears in red above the phrase “bright, brief, unstable,” with a yellow smiling face surrounded by colorful diamonds and a jagged pink line labeled “peaks and crashes,” suggesting emotional highs and lows. On the right, “PEACE + PURPOSE” appears in blue above the phrase “quiet, durable, directional,” with a calm blue smiling face, a target symbol, and a gentle rising blue line labeled “less exciting, more livable,” suggesting steadiness and direction. Between the two panels, handwritten text says “trade this for this.” A large banner at the bottom reads, “Happiness is overrated, fight for peace and purpose.”
Happiness is overrated; fight for peace and purpose!
