Pleasure is about emotional involvement. the emotions and the feelings are always active.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">On the other hand, happiness is an inner sensation. Pleasure lasts for a short time while happiness is long-lived. Pleasure is visceral while happiness is ethereal. There are other intersections that pleasure and happiness can meet.
