The essential contradiction is that peace is gained through moral acts often, that aren't selfish in nature.
That love appreciates others not for the sake of benefiting oneself, but through believe they ought to be appreciated or their action (states that lead to something outwardly good) ought to be appreciated.
Peace is a noble goal for humans to achieve, but it requires moral satisfaction with oneself. And so you can make the standards purely about bliss and peace feeling, but the problem is bliss and peace depends on moral standards and the latter if hedonism is the model would be circular way back to establishing it.
Of course, I think doing actions to make yourself at peace are noble and good, but a lot of those actions we search it's a side effect we feel peace and rewarded with happiness we do good.
And here comes the issue of honor. There is honorable way to seek happiness and dishonorable way. The latter is often destructive not only to oneself, but to others, and the world even at large.
