Desire is disruptive; pleasure if fleeting; happiness is enduring.

Happiness brings tranquility and contentment. What does desire and pleasure to to these things? What are the natures of desire and pleasure? What are their actions?
Miserable? It could work for any emotional state, I'd imagine.

I feel these terms you've mentioned are the containers, not the contents.

They are icons we used to describe the human system of satisfaction.

Desire has me seeking happiness which brings me pleasure.

Perhaps desire is the engine. Happiness is the vehicle. Pleasure is the fuel.
