Pleasant and other pleasures are not equal to joy, and joy is not equal to happiness. These are all different things. Pleasure is physiology (body), joy is psychology (soul), and happiness is the philosophy of life (mind).

Joy — life in the feeling of «the world is beautiful.»

The emotion of joy is less than happiness, but more than just a feeling of pleasure. The latter bring us simple sensory sensations — for example, gustatory or tactile. Pleasure is not necessarily accompanied by an experience of joy.

Agree, a delicious dinner is a great pleasure, but we rarely say that we are happy about it.

As a rule, people have a pretty good idea of ​​what exactly can bring them pleasure (and, accordingly, what does not deliver it). The emotion of joy differs from the feeling of pleasure, in particular, in that it is much more elusive: it is far from always possible to determine what exactly will bring joy to a person, somehow “plan” a joyful experience. When we want to have fun, we buy ourselves a chocolate bar or go out of town to lie on the beach under the gentle sun, but, you see, “organizing” joy is a much more difficult task.

Pleasure comes to us from the body, and most of us know how to influence our bodies. And we make our own joy ourselves, but only those who own their emotions, who are the master of their souls.
