Pleasure 🧠
Since our culture confaltes happiness with pleasure, I define pleasure as the concept of gratification or reward, as derived from the French plaisir for “to please,” and neurologically it involves the mesolimbic pathway. The keys to this definition are: (1) it is immediate, (2) it provides some level of excitement or amusement, and (3) it is dependent on circumstance.
