Pleasure is a moment, happiness is a lifetime. Pleasure is something you can strive to achieve in an action or an activity, and often people confuse pleasure with happiness so they become pleasure-seeking or pleasure-driven. What's interesting is that because they're searching for something outside of themselves, it actually winds up almost having the opposite result. The more you're driven to try and find it, the less you're actually slowing down enough to find it within.
