Wholesome Pleasures

from my last question I wonder: what provides wholesome pleasure and joy in a context of mental states and Buddhism? I wonder about: - *Objective pleasure*, i.e. engaging in meditation on compassion for example, or meditation in general, or engaging in "positive activities" as found in positive psychology - *Subjective pleasure*, i.e. engaging in an activity one enjoys which isn't harmful - *Goal-oriented pleasure*, i.e. fulfilling ambitions linked to one's aspirations And, again from the perspective of mental states, **is happiness always reliant on subjectivity to a degree?** Here, I mean to ask whether one's mood, or personal interest, or one's personality always play a part in generating pleasure and joy (aside, perhaps, from in meditation)?
