Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasureThere is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other，but they are not the samePleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them When you are happy，little unpleasant events usually do not disturb youWhen you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against youYou may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure；yet you stay unhappyA person may smoke cigarettesbecause it gives him pleasure，yet，this does not make him happier，especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health The physical world is always in a changing stateAt each moment a new thing is being created，changed，transformed and then destroyed.
