I live halfway around the world but I thought I'd create this token of my well-wishes for the people of Ukraine. We seem to live in a state of permanent warfare somewhere on the planet but at least this one's getting some attention.

I think I like the first better. I looked up the colors on the Wikipedia page for the flag.

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
