You can "enjoy" being evil, and doing bad things. They can be pleasurable.

IMO pleasurable does not = happy.

Heroin is pleasurable, but it doesn't make anyone happy. A paedophile may feel pleasure when abusing a child but that is not happiness. This is pleasure that is disconnected from the heart and the consequences.

Happiness is pleasure that is connected to the heart. Loving and helping someone is pleasurable and connected to the heart. Accomplishing to the best of your ability is pleasurable and connected to the heart. This is happiness.

All selfish pleasure is disconnected from the heart, and is therefore not happiness.
