Appearances
People think they're the same thing.
They are not.
Not even remotely.
Pleasure, number one.
Pleasure is short-lived, like a meal.
Happiness is long-lived, like a lifetime.
Number two, pleasure is visceral.
You feel it in your body.
Happiness is ethereal.
You feel it above the neck.
Number three, pleasure is taking, like from a casino.
Happiness is giving, like habitats for humanity.
Number four, pleasure is experienced alone.
Happiness is experienced in social groups.
Number five, pleasure can be achieved with substances.
like cocaine, heroin, nicotine, alcohol, sugar, happiness cannot be achieved with substances.
Number six, the extremes of pleasure, whether it be substances or behaviors, all in the extreme lead to addiction.
There's an alcoholic after every one of those.
Shopaholic, alcoholic, chocoholic, sexaholic.
But there's no such thing as being addicted to too much happiness.
