'pleasure' is commonly associated with hobbies.. when we do what we like, we feel pleasure.. 'happiness' is associated with 'success'.. when we reach our goals, we feel happy cause we feel relieved.. 'bliss' is associated with an extraordianry experience we have in life.. we experience bliss when we have things that we thought we cannot have..

Bliss is a state of being that does not change when things, situations, or people are added or subtracted. Bliss just is. I believe it to almost be indescrible with words, it is a viseral experance while at the same time a spiritual experance. I often find that I use Happiness and bliss interchangable but they really are different. Bliss is a state of being, while happiness is kind of more like a verb, an action of sorts.
