1. Individual Pleasures
Individuality of a person need growth and development for which he/she needs to remain pleased with his/her circumstances. Some important factors are -

• Health : The first and the foremost condition of happiness is individual's good health. With this only, he/she becomes capable of enjoying pleasures of life.
• Family : Sexual satisfaction is as important for happiness as food and water.are for survival. Institution of marriage is the key for this factor of happiness. So, a compatible spouse is a must for leading a wholesome wife through giving rise to healthy children. With advancing age, charm of love is gradually replaced by respect, affection and care available through children
• Economy : Every one needs a regular flow of money, in the form of hard-earned income, to be happy. Even accumulated wealth is no substitute for regular earnings 
• Comforts and conveniences : Happiness is not wealth but balanced use of it in getting comforts and conveniences of life. So, every person needs facilities of transport,  electricity, communication, etc. to be contented. This requires overall development of the place of residence of the person. This is where governance enters into the lives of persons to make them happy.  

2. Social Pleasures
Humans are social animals and social life of a person is as important as individual life. Social life is composed of mainly three factors available through society and for society-

• Reputation : Respect in society is the most important aspect of social happiness which is acquired through respecting others in the society. This barter deal has no beginning or end but operates from one generation to the other in the family. With adequate care, it grows and may get marred through bad deeds of te individual.
• Education: Education of an individual provides him/her a relative place in the society. It is available from one's society and causes growth of personality of the individual.  .
• Justice : Logically, if every one is right, there exists no need for an institution of justice for any body. But, individuals have lusts also making them undisciplined and inflictive of troubles to others through exploitation in various ways. This distortion of personality of some in the society requires a well-oiled and functioning judiciary in the society. So, this becomes an essential function of governance of the society.  

In time frame, the happiness has three elements - performance of the past, present achievements and prospects of the future.Past performances of ancestors of a person provide a good support for social happiness if his/her present is not tarnished. This is what is known as effect of previous births of the person, widely confused with life before birth and transgression of soul. This distortion is created by evil minds in human society for misguidance with a purpose of exploiting others.

Present deeds of a person overshadow his/her past if these are not compatible with the latter. So, the present may add or subtract happiness from individual's life. The present deeds make or mar prospects of happiness of next generations of the person and the society in general.
