Happiness vs Pleasure

Can someone explain the difference between the two?

I think it is often confused, people think I am happy because I got this new car or I got that girl/guy number.

Happiness is a state of being. Pleasure is a temporary feeling that satifies a desire for the moment

I think most ppl are in a moment of pleasure! Happiness is muted by all the things we surround ourselves with. True happiness is blissfull.

Happiness is a state of being, pleasure is a sensation.

Happiness is more of a mind state, whereas pleasure is a stimulus of the your sensory functions.

I think you all are right in your definitions of happiness and pleasure .. 2 of my favorite words.

So what makes you happy? What gives you pleasure?
