Most philosophers define happiness in varying ways. Aristole felt it was doing well and being well. John Stuart Mill define it as pleasurea and the abscene of pain. The point I am making is that happiness tends to have pleasure as a portion of in as well as other things because pleasure is just a momentary thing while happiness is pleasure and more, sustained...I would go with happiness.

pleasure and happiness goes hand-in-hand...it takes pain to deal with life period...and accept what is --IS!!!...you can have happiness and pleasure in any given moment -- and then an obstacle of life occurs....so the real important thing in life is achieving peace, tranquility and contentment.....happiness and pleasure will follow.

To be truly happy and contented, you must let go of what it means to be happy or content.
You won't be happy with more until you're happy with what you've got
