Imagine a sadomasochist who comes to savor serial killing and derives great pleasure from it. Imagine a hit man who derives enormous gratification from stalking and slaying. Imagine a terrorist who attached to al-Qaeda, flies a hjacked plane into the World Trade Center. Can these three people be said to have achived the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life, respectively? The answer is yes.
