Happiness Vs Pleasure.
#1
Happiness Vs Pleasure.
Happiness is just an emotion whereas pleasure is also an activity. That's where the two differ.

Do you agree with the above?

RE: Happiness Vs Pleasure.
Aye, perhaps.

As long as I am not in pain I am happy... Bring on the pleasure, baby.

RE: Happiness Vs Pleasure.
For me happiness is a base emotional state.."I'm always happy"

Pleasure? Oh yes ...I think I could take the Hedonist tag/label and wear it well. The activity of pursuing pleasure (I feel) contributes greatly to the enhancement of 'Happiness'

For me too.I have been happy at an existential level for a total of about 3 years ,since I was 8. Mostly I'm not in pain so not miserable.

I don't really agree.
I'd say happiness is a state of being, pleasure is a feeling.
Pleasure can create a state of happiness.
Pleasure can be used as a verb but I don't see much point comparing this with happiness.
