I think your leading sentence is a false Dichotomy for many people. Pursuit of happiness doesn't imply being in a state of bliss all the time. Stoics are allowed to be happy too.

Sure, correcting "pursuit of happiness" to "pursuit of contentment/fulfillment/purpose" is pedantic, but it makes me happy ;p

It's also a connotative reminder to ourselves & others to seek rewards with longer time horizons

You're getting good advice and the best you can do is say I know better. Learn to be humble and listen to elders.
